The Queen of England Stole my Parents


A film by Ernestas Jankauskas, Lithuania (30 minutes)

Milda is a seven-year-old girl who was left by her emigrated parents several years ago. She is raised by her aunt Angele and lives in her small fantasy world, believing that one day her mother and father will come back, and waiting to get a postcard from them every once in a while.

One day she meets a strange woman, who convinces the girl that the Queen of England stole her parents and that a rescue mission needs to be started. The only thing the woman asks in return is for Milda to forget her aunt. The girl agrees.

Milda and the strange woman embark on a journey towards the airport of a big city where they’re supposed to meet the Queen of England. They meet strange people and get to know each other while travelling by various means of transportation.

 

Step by step Milda is beginning to feel that she misses her aunt. In the end, the two travellers reach the airport but will Milda meet the Queen? Where do her fantasies end and where does the real world begin?

Time for an homage to Canadian Animation Master RYAN LARKIN: check this bundle

Ryan's Renaissance Documentary. 


Film Information   a film by Nicola Zavaglia, Laurie Gordon

Ryan’s Renaissance chronicles an improbable human journey, friendship, and what transpires after Oscar nominated Ryan Larkin (Walking) becomes the world’s most famous panhandler after the film “Ryan” by  Chris Landreth wins an Academy Award.

It begins when Ryan, still living at a homeless shelter and Laurie Gordon, a Montreal musician asks Ryan to “draw a few pictures” for her band’s video which  serendipitously becomes Spare Change, Ryan’s first animation film in 35 years.  We follow this  quirky duo’s utopian attempt to get their film off the ground. Ryan’s generous unconcern for the  camera eye allows us to witness unbearable moments of human pain, hilarious events, and  gripping insight into creativity, vision, and a yearning for a place to call home. http://musivision.ca

Spare Change

Spare Change. Short Animation. Completed. 2009, Dir. Ryan Larkin, Laurie Gordon

This animation short by Ryan Larkin (Walking, Street Musique, etc.) recounts some “comical experiences” Larkin had during his many years as a panhandler in Montreal. It tells the story of Astral Pan, a street beggar (voiced by Larkin himself), who takes us on a wild journey from the sidewalks of a wintry Montreal day, to the gates of Heaven and Hell and back. The great filmmaker passed away before finishing his film. Spare Change was completed by a friend, producer and singer-songwriter Laurie Gordon, assisted by a team of young, devoted animators.

Original music by Laurie Gordon’s band Chiwawa, featuring the single “Do It For Me.”
