Walkin' with Larkin #2
Ten days ago, the National Film Board of Canada launched its free online screening room of 700 films, clips, trailers and four features, promising new content weekly from the NFB's collection of 13,000 productions. Here are upcoming titles.
The catalog includes films by the brilliant and inventive Ryan Larkin (1943-2007). Larkin's Oscar-nominated Walking (1968) was one of the memorable artistic peaks of the 1960s, and it's still as vibrant as it was four decades ago. Watch full screen. We posted Larkin's Syrinx here in February 2007.
Larkin's last film, Street Musique (1972), takes flight on the wings of song with strange surprises, psychedelic morphings and magical twists-- animation akimbo and askew:
Chris Landreth's Ryan (2004) about Ryan Larkin won a 2005 Academy Award and numerous other awards:

Bhob,
You are always on the cutting edge. Norman McLaren was one of my favorites when I studied film, but this is new to me. And terrific.
We've been out of touch for a while but I'd love to change that. Hope you can drop me a line!
