When Ryan Larkin, the Canadian animator from the late '60s/early '70s died recently, Cartoon Brew paid tribute by showing Syrinx (1965) and this Oscar-winning short by Chris Landreth. It follows Landreth interviewing Larkin is a visual style that I can only describe as psychedelic with the florescent way each faces were colored and lighted. Various associates of Larkin like his longtime girlfriend Felicity comment on the artist's life and career like his troubled childhood with his father or his cocaine and alcohol addiction. Well worth seeing for various animation types of both Landreth and Larkin as displayed in clips of a couple of his shorts like Walking (1969) and Street Musique (1972).
