BATON ROUGE --- The Red Stick International Animation Festival will host a special work-in-progress screening of Fathom Studios’ new animated film, “Delgo.” It is the first time the film will be screened in the United States. This family-friendly film is the story of an unlikely hero (Delgo) who must prove his innocence, rescue a princess, reveal a traitor, end a war and unite the peoples of a mythical land.
Red Stick will host a screening of the film, with an opportunity to meet the filmmakers, on Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. in the United Artists Citiplace Stadium Theater, 2610 Citiplace Dr. The screening is free, but participants must register for a complimentary festival Red Pass at www.redstickfestival.org to attend.
The movie takes place in Jhamora, a land torn apart by the mutual prejudice of two peoples—the winged, fairy-like Nohrin, masters of the skies, and the wingless, earth-bound Lockni, who though they can’t fly can magically harness the mystical powers of the land. When Delgo, a Lockni teenager, forms a friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla, it creates trouble for the two and for their people. Delgo and his faint-hearted best friend, Filo, must put aside their distrust of the Nohrin, join forces and travel to a mysterious land, to battle with the true enemy, a spurned princess who has betrayed everyone in hopes of dominating the planet.
“Delgo” features a star-studded cast, including Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Burt Reynolds and Val Kilmer. “Delgo” is also one of the last films Anne Bancroft, who voices Empress Sedessa, completed before her death.
The film’s directors, Marc Adler and Jason Maurer, will be featured speakers at the Red Stick International Animation Festival, the largest festival of its kind in the United States, which will take place April 16-19 in downtown Baton Rouge’s Arts District.
LSU’s Center for Computation & Technology sponsors the festival, in partnership with the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, Baton Rouge Area Foundation, East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President’s Office, Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and Louisiana Economic Development.
