Join Dr. Alla Gadassik, Dr. Jordan Gowanlock, and the Visual Effects Society for a public screening series dedicated to visual and special effects. Every other Wednesday this fall, we select a film from the Visual Effects Society’s “Top 70 Most Influential Visual Effects Films of All Time.” Each screening is accompanied by an introduction and audience discussion after the film.
September 10th: Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)
A film noir about urban planning featuring a cast full of cartoon characters, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is arguably the first film of the “Disney renaissance” era. Industrial Light and Magic’s optical compositing magnum opus, this film marries hand-drawn cel animation (led by Canadian animator Richard Williams) with live-action Hollywood neo-noir without the use of digital tools.
