NEW ANIMATION FROM HONG KONG, CHINA AND JAPAN
This lineup provides a rare glimpse into the newest developments in animation coming out of East Asia. The centerpiece of the program is Toe Yuen?s award-winning feature Mai dau goo si (My Life as McDull, Hong Kong, 2001, 75 min.). Based on hugely successful cartoons by Alice Mak, who also provides the artwork here, the film deals with the travails of a sentimental piglet comically trying to fulfill the dreams of his overachieving single mother.
