Little Vampire / Petit Vampire (8+) + Live Q&A with Jared Taylor

The screening on Sunday 20 March (17:00) will be accompanied by an introduction and live Q&A with Jared Taylor, Programme Director of Animation at the Edinburgh College of Art.

French filmmaker and comic book artist Joann Sfar adapts his own graphic novel series into an animated adventure. Some 20 years ago Sfar created the character of a young boy who yearned to go to school but was not permitted to do so. The problem? He only appeared to be a little boy; in truth, he was a vampire. Especially memorable is the beauty of the landscape when the protagonists’ two ghost ships run aground, a vibrant and sunny region loosely calling to mind and evoking a certain sense of nostalgia for a fantasised version of the South of France.
