TRAILER

MAKING THE OVERCOAT

A documentary film introducing the God of animation, Yuri Norshteyn

Yuriy Norshteyn, Russia’s most renowned animator, has crafted many brilliant works, including his award-winning Tale of Tales and Hedgehog in the Fog. He is revered by animation creators across the globe, most notably Japanese masters Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Thirty years ago, Norshteyn began work on an ambitious adaptation of The Overcoat by noted Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, but the project stalled and has been shelved for many years. A Japanese film crew visited Norshteyn’s studio in Moscow in June, 2016. They found there mountains of sketches, character studies and a shooting table covered with dust.

When will his much-awaited The Overcoat be finally completed? Norshteyn himself talks about its current status and the anguish and passion that has gone into its creation.

Presented in Russian and Japanese w/ English subtitles.
