Round Up At A Town Called Panic

Cineuropa devotes an entire Film Focus section to A Town Called Panic.  Cineuropa has posted the trailer, a photo gallery, film details and a review as well as corraling directors Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar for an interview at Cannes. The detail that stuck out for me:

"For the film, we made a total of 1,500 figurines. Horse is the character who required the most, for he had many different positions…we used perhaps 130 or 140 figurines. For Cowboy and Indian, we used around 100 each. On the other hand, Policeman has four or five different positions because he’s stiff and doesn’t move… he’s a policeman."

And if you'd like to get a sense of what they're writing about, here's half of the episode, "Cake." (Atom.com has more with an entire A Town Called Panic channel with many, many episodes).

 

A Town Called Panic screens at TIFF on:  Friday September 18th, 11:59PM - Ryerson Theatre / Saturday September 19th, 3:45PM - AMC 3.
