Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale retrospective a retrospective

Lovers of animation are getting together this weekend for the second ever Wellington Animation Film Festival. The event has been organised by a group of French creatives living in Aotearoa and features a mix of screenings and panel discussions. Alongside several premieres, some classics will be shown - one of those is Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale. Footrot Flats first became a household name as a newspaper cartoon, and in 1986 became New Zealand's first animated feature film. Its co-writer and award-winning cartoonist Tom Scott will be at the screening and will speak on a panel of industry experts afterwards.
