TIFF2006 will feature a retrospective of the short works of Norman McLaren (above), who created some of the National Film Board’s best-known animated and experimental films. The 76-minute collection – which screened at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year – will feature the filmmaker’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner Blinkity Blank, Academy Award winner Neighbours, Le Merle, Hen Hop and others. McLaren died in 1987 at age 72. The program screens on Sept. 8.
