Director: Josh Raskin
Canada, 2007, 5 min
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace for his school paper. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multi-pronged animation. Official selection at Sundance

“It was different from being just a passive viewer... [T]he result is that we’ll watch movies and TV differently, based on what we’ve learned. In a world dominated by the media, it’s an important skill to be able to... look at these images more critically.” – Adriana Byrne, Grade 11
