Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Ben Mitchell in conversation with Janet Perlman. With a solid filmography of funny, quirky animated films under her belt, including 'My Favourite Things That I Love', 'Penguins Behind Bars', 'Invasion of the Space Lobsters' and the Oscar nominated 'Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin', Janet’s work over the years has also included contributions to 'Sesame Street', the NFB’s 'ShowPeace' series and the collaborative project 'Pink Komkommer'. This week her latest NFB film 'The Girl with the Red Beret' is playing at Animafest Zagreb as part of their Time For The Masters programme, which showcases recent work by some of the biggest stars of animation. The film is a love letter to Montreal in which a girl encounters an array of colourful, extravagant characters across the city’s metro stations, set to a re-orchested take on Kate and Anna McGarrigle’s 'Complainte pour Ste-Catherine'.
