Dear AASU Sci-Fi Fantasy Club,
I’m trying to real all local sci-fi and animation fans about this one time showing of the classic animated science fiction film Fantastic Planet.
The Telfair Museum of Art’s Jepson Center and the Reel Savannah Film Group will present the classic animated film and 1973 Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix winner, Fantastic Planet. The animation is hand drawn and utterly different from anything seen on screen today.
Please pass the word along to any sci fi, animation, illustration and film buffs you know. Full information below.
Thanks so much,
Harry DeLorme

"Reel Savannah and the Telfair Museum of Art Present Second Sunday
Films at the Jepson Center"
Reel Savannah Film Group and the Telfair Museum of Art are partnering
for a new Second Sunday Film Series at the Jepson Center for the Arts.
Because of its affiliation with the Telfair Museum, the new series will
consciously promote cinema that is primarily artistic, defined by its
visual, stylistic, and formal qualities.

Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage)
dir. Rene Laloux
France/Czechoslovakia, 1973
Winner, Grand Prix 1973 Cannes Film Festival
Calling all animation fans! Still out of print in Europe and the US, Rene Laloux's extraordinary animated classic, based on the book Om en
Serie by Stefan Wul, is presented here in its original aspect ratio, digitally remastered for optimum picture and sound. A wildly inventive
fantasy, Fantastic Planet is the tale of a race of humanoid creatures called Oms, fighting for their freedom from the giant, blue-skinned
Traags, who keep the Oms as pets. A group of rebel Oms travels to a strange planet where they try to uncover the secret of the Traags'
existence. The film, which won the Grand Prix Award at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, boasts a truly distinctive animation style that has
earned admiration throughout the world. Roland Topor's graphics create a world reminiscent of Bosch, Odilon Redon, and Franciszek Starowieyski:
"menacing landscape full of womb-like passages, intestinal plants, strange phallic and vaginal shapes, and extraordinary posthistoric monsters." (Time Out London).
72 minutes. French with English subtitles
The screening will also include the Laloux animated short "The Snails." Originally rated PG for fantasy violence and nudity, the
film may not be suitable for younger children.
Admission is $6, cash only for all seats, on a first come first served
basis. Filmgoers should enter through the Jepson Center's auditorium
entrance at the corner of Oglethorpe Avenue and Barnard Street. Doors
open at 6:30 p.m.
