The Making of Longbird - a Retrospective Animated film and exhibition by Will Anderson and Tobias Feltus.
The Making of Longbird is apparently a documentary, unveiling archive footage of a Russian animated film from 1911 about a master animator, a work and a terrible fire... Award-winning Highland film- maker Will Anderson takes up the challenge of reclaiming the lost legacy of the Longbird, blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction and making us believe the unbelievable. In his exploration of the character of the captivating Longbird we realise that he is not all he seems.
This touching, funny film by one of our most promising young animators is the centrepiece of an exhibition which has a supporting programme of film-makers, past and present, from Edinburgh College of Art. The Art Gallery at Inverness Museum becomes a cinema of yesteryear for the purpose with photographs by Tobias Feltus, filmed interviews and other ephemera relating to the film.
