Director Bart Simpson talking in the Cameo Cinema after the screening of his fascinating documentary, The MAD World of Harvey Kurtzman.
Kurtzman, as I am sure many of you already know, was an outstanding cartoonist, creating amazing work for the legendary EC Comics, before the censorship rules ruined comics for decades.
He would then be instrumental in the creation of the iconic MAD magazine, other series and works and teaching, helping and inspiring new cartoonists, including some who would push the medium, like Robert Crumb, a young Terry Gilliam before his Monty Python days and more.
It's a fascinating documentary about an outstanding artist, with some great talking heads (including Crumb, Gilliam, and Matt Groening), and with a lot of respect for the medium, for the artist and the influence he left.
As with the other film festival shots, I apologise for the lower quality - shot in a dark cinema with a projection on the screen, far from ideal!
