We actually showed Grendel Grendel Grendel at the first convention Andrew and I
organised. This is a marvelous Australian animated feature and well worth
preserving. Think about pitching in a little to help!
Peace,
Katherine

With your help, we have a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to raise funds to
ensure the digital preservation of Alex Stitt’s groundbreaking film ‘Grendel
Grendel Grendel’ (1981), one of Australia's first animated features.
A month long Pozible crowdfunding campaign

we’ll be holding special fundraising screenings of ‘Grendel Grendel Grendel’
and Alex’s 3D film ‘Abracadabra’ – the very first 3D animated feature to ever
be made! Pretty amazing that happened here in Australia.
Alex Stitt is not only a celebrated designer, illustrator and animator, whose
prolific career made an unprecedented impact on Australian graphic design over
many decades (he was recently inducted into the Australian Design Institutes’
Hall of Fame) – he is a true pioneering godfather of Australian animation.
"Brilliant art, Brilliant story, Brilliant film"
*"I'm so glad you found the genius in 'Grendel...' that I did."*
Bill Plympton
Legendary indie animator re ‘Grendel Grendel Grendel’
“Alex is a genuine genius”
*“…the most under-recognised bloke in the country”*
Phillip Adams
Broadcaster/writer/filmmaker, host of the ABC radio program ‘Late Night Live’
His most iconic work, remembered for enduring characters such as Norm the Couch
Potato and Sid the Seagull, include the ‘Slip Slop Slap’ and ‘Life: Be In It’
TV community campaigns. Other notable projects include the distinctive graphics
and poster designs for the Fred Schepisi films ‘The Devil’s Playground’ (1976)
and ‘The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith’ (1978).

If you click on the link above you can read all about the project, learn more
about the incredible Alex Stitt, make a financial contribution and more
importantly, fall in love with Grendel.
If you don't know what crowdfunding is, it's become a super popular way to ask
your community (& their friends!) to help fund a project online - it's
essentially a pretty funky fundraiser model.
To thank you for your contribution & involvement, different levels of 'reward
packs' full of goodies are available for you to choose/receive.
Pledges can be any amount (as every little bit counts!), be publicy anonymous,
and payment is made by credit card or Paypal - Pozible only deducts your
payment once the project reaches it's goal ($9000 by 1 June!). If we don't
reach it, then your payment won't be processed.
So lovely people, please consider helping preserve a really special piece of
Australia's creative heritage and we (& Grendel the spotty monster) will thank
you for ever!

*'Abracadabra' in 3D (1983) *
Thu 27 June, 6.30pm
We have access to a long-lost stash of the uniquely engineered 3D glasses
called 'Abragoggles' which are required to watch the film in the format it was
intended to be seen. The film had no public screening in Australia so this is
definitely a not-to-be-missed experience. AND you get asouvenir/collectible
pair of the Abragoggles - now when was the last time you popped on a special
pair of cardboard 3D glasses at the flicks?!
With starring voice talents such as John Farnham & Jacki Weaver, it's a
charming comic fantasy inspired by the story of the Pied Piper.
And did we tell you it was the first EVER 3D animated feature?!
We encourage you and your friends, family, colleagues to come to these special
fundraising sessions to experience true cinematic magic.
