A rare news flash from us that’s all news. We wanted to let you know that, coming up very soon, are two programs of the films of Faith and John Hubley, one in each hemisphere.
On February 19 and 21, Masters of Animation – Faith and John Hubley will be taking place at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne. All the information you need can be found at Inside Film.
