I felt compelled to report on the confusingly named but impressive Manga Impact festival of anime in Locarno, Switzerland this year some posts ago. Funnily enough, the Locarno Film Festival's MySpace blog has since announced that one of the live events that will accompany the many screenings is a conversation (presumably in French) between Michel Ocelot and TAKAHATA Isao! Their mutual friendship and support is well-known but I am always interested to know more exactly what they think of each other's works and I would love to have a transcript, or even merely on few on what this conversation covered (I once read some such notes on a lecture given by Takahata which included Kirikou et la sorcière as an example which were posted as a comment on a blog post; I may still have the URL of that post somewhere but don't have the time to go looking for it among my dissertation notes at the moment).
Current music: La Planète sauvage – « Les Fusées »
Excited, of course, so listing to one of, perhaps my single most, favourite element of this film. I may even recommend that someone listen to this and imagine what a film that it accompanies might be like as their introduction to the film, before seeing any of the imagery.
