Celestial Navigations: The Short Films Of Al Jarnow Trailer from numerogroup on Vimeo.
I grew up on these as a kid (Sesame Street and 3-2-1 Contact), and finally Al Jarnow is being recognized for his brilliant work. These animations have resurfaced and offer a trip back to simpler times of wonder and discovery. Introducing Al Jarnow, the mastermind behind the short films embedded into our collective memory. Celestial Navigations: The Short Films of Al Jarnow compiles a retrospective of Jarnow’s familiar animations along with his more obscure shorts.
There’s also a sweet disc compilation that comes with a 60 page book chock full of articles, stills, and production notes. It’s presented by the Numero Group, and includes all of Jarnow’s short films as well as a behind-the-scenes documentary on his journey from realist painter to filmmaker, detailing his creative process and sources of inspiration.
Thanks Grain Edit, for the find.
