Tomasz Magierski, director, presents his award-winning film, BLINKY & ME (2012), about Yoram Gross, Polish Holocaust survivor and escape artist who later became a legendary animator and Australia’s national treasure. Q&A to follow. In his 80’s, Gross, who has delighted generations of children worldwide with his books, films, and beloved animated characters, Blinky Bill, Dot and Kangaroo and Skippy, recounts his own escape-filled World War II saga. This project is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council’s Arts Link Grant Program.
