The Animated World of Paul Grimault

These newly restored shorts, made between 1942 and 1973 and shown in chronological order, open a window into the imagination of Paul Grimault, an icon of French animation. The program includes the gem “The Little Soldier,” winner of the 1948 Venice International Film Festival’s International Award for Animated Film. While his shorts became increasingly political, they all retain his trademark poetic style, exquisite colors, and wry wit.
