With great excitement, the Cinema Arts Centre welcomes back Oscar-nominated animator BILL PLYMPTON, this time with his new feature film, Idiots and Angels. Angel is a gun-running, booze swilling a**hole who gets pleasure from causing others misery. One morning he wakes up with wings growing out of his back that force him to do good deeds. No matter how he tries to fight against them, he can't overcome their power of good. However, he is soon pursued by those who want the wings for their own nefarious ends. Plympton's unique, metamorphosing artwork and storytelling captures the imagination and keeps the viewer engrossed in this battle between man's lower nature and his inevitable salvation. USA, 2008, 78 min.

Bill Plympton personally draws and colors each film still by hand, as many as 30,000 for a feature-length film. He has been nominated twice for an Academy Award; Your Face (1987) and Guard Dog (2004), and twice for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival (Push Comes to Shove, 1991; Your Face, 1987). Awards include the Jury Prize and Canal+ Award at the Cannes Film Festival (Push Comes to Shove, 1991; Eat, 2001). Feature credits include In Tune, Hair High, and Mutant Aliens; shorts: Guide Dog, Plymptoons.

“Bill Plympton never knows when to stop. Thank God! Just as I’m asking myself, “How much longer can he maintain this dark and outrageously beautiful tale?”, he turns it upside down and inside out and I find myself peering around a corner into a transcendent new world that is gleefully determined to trap me in it’s loopy spell. How can he be so poetic, funny, and cruel at the same moment? Where does he buy his drugs?” - Terry Gilliam

PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES A SPECIAL SNEAK TRAILER FOR

THE NEW DOCUMENTARY BY ALEXIA ANASTASIO,
