Film Festivals

Perspectives was officially selected for inclusion in several international film festivals during the early '80s. These included:

Festival des Films du Monde - Montreal. August 22 - September 1, 1980
Chicago Film Festival - November 7-26, 1980
International Animated Film Festival - Annecy, France. June 9-14, 1981
Internationale Filmwoche Mannheim - October 5-10, 1981
Atlantic Film Festival - St. John's, Newfoundland. November, 1981
Melbourne Film Festival - June 3-14, 1982
Ottawa International Animated Film Festival

Perspectives was also part of several "screenings", including...

The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden - Washington, D.C. 1981
Atlantic Film Makers - CBC Television series. 1984

Ramona Macdonald handled all the correspondence for festivals and screenings, so I can't confirm Perspectives was part of the Ottawa Film Festival or a screening at the Hirshhorn Museum. But, they were included in Doomsday PR materials from that time.

Translation: "Perspectives" by Floyd Gillis (Canada). He dissolves the geometric forms of our cities, revealing their decay caused by noise, dirt, and disorder. It is a pity that animated film is barely represented in the program anymore
