Yahoo has posted a trailer for the award-winning French animated feature film Peur(s) du noir, which is being released in North America by IFC Ent. under the English title Fear(s) of the Dark. The pic will hit select theaters in New York on Oct. 24, and in Los Angeles on Oct. 31. A complete release schedule can be found here: www.animationmagazine.net/article/8886
The animation for Fear(s) of the Dark is inspired by artwork from six world renown comic-book artists and cartoonists. Produced predominantly in black-and-white, the film examines childhood nightmares as recalled by a diverse group of artists made up of The New Yorker contributors Richard McGuire and Lorenzo Mattotti, Strasbourg-born Blutch (Christian Hinker), American illustrator Charles Burns, and France’s Marie Caillou and Pierre Di Sciullo.
Canal Plus art director Etienne Robial served as artistic director on the project, which was produced by Valerie Schermann and Christophe Jankovic’s Prima Linea Prods. (U, Alice in the City). Fear(s) made its world premiere last October at the second annual Rome Film Festival and later played Sundance. Catch the trailer at http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809947440/video/9742569.
