About this event
The Fabulous Baron Munchausen Karel Zeman , 1961, 85 min Curated and introduced by Cassie Robinson for Mina Radović 's 10th Anniversary Film Series. A highly-stylized romantic adventure inspired by the historic tales of Baron Munchausen: live action paired with various forms of animation allow this Czechoslovak classic – spanning the moon to the deep sea – to come to life in this meticulous restoration. "Zeman's movies openly mix live action with every analogue tool for exploring the fantastic, including hand-drawn and cutout animation, puppetry, mattes, double exposures, miniatures, and optical illusions, such as forced perspective” notes film critic Michael Sragow . A visual feast à la Verne and Méliès The Fabulous Baron Munchausen invites discovery of the wonderful world of Karel Zeman . Special thanks to Second Run
