2004 (estimated) Festival Film Hothouse 2

Studio
National Film Board of Canada

Synopsis

A sweeping tale of Victorian-era hubris and folly, ending, as all such tales did, in the tragedy of individual human disaster. Director Kevin Langdale employs many tricks of the "epic" filmmaker, and executes them with a signature graphic style that brims with the majesty of human ambition and the indomitable and sometimes destructive power of the natural world.

Production notes

This film was made as part of the second edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.

Take six promising animation filmmakers from across Canada, plant them in the NFB's English Animation Studio, give them 12 weeks to create extremely short animation from concept to release with the full support and assistance of NFB creative experts and, voilà, the NFB Animation Hothouse! This is the second session of the Animation Hothouse.
