An especially animated conversation: The Rabbi/s Cat & other nominated animation.
January 17, 2013 4:00pm
Two-hour DP special!
Karl Cohen (Forbidden Animation: Censored Cartoon and Blacklisted Animators in America) and Martha Gorzycki, both senior animation faculty at SF State, chat with Mara about The Rabbi/s Cat and other animation up for various honors in the annual Silly Season of award madness. (Included: Brave, ParaNorman, and Frankenweenie, and shorts Paperman, The Longest Daycare (Maggie Simpson at Ayn Rand Daycare), Adam and Dog, and Fresh Guacamole.
The Rabbi/s Cat [Le Chat du Rabbin] is set in the Algerian Jewish community in the late 1930s, and centers on said cat, who, on becoming gifted with speech, demands to be Bar-Mitvahed--after all, is he not a Jewish cat?
Is he? Mara, Martha, and Karl ponder this question and others, including whether Disney really put 80% of the work on Brave into the heroine/s glorious hair, why male directors don/t notice women are missing, and what makes a film Jewish, anyway?
We play most of the great Ladino/klezmer/Andalusian soundtrack of The Rabbi/s Cat, composed by Olivier Daviaud and performed by Enrico Macias and the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, plus tracks from Macias solo and a rare piece by his late father-in-law, Cheik Raymond [Raymond Leyris].
