“This animated short proposes what many earthlings have long feared — that the automobile has inherited the planet. When life on Earth is portrayed as one long, unending conga-line of cars, a crew of extra-terrestrial visitors understandably assume they are the dominant race. While humans, on the other hand, are merely parasites. An Oscar®-nominee, this film serves as an entertaining case study.” -NFB website
🍅 Meet youthful spirit John Lyons, the 92-year-old Trinidadian-British painter, poet, and cook for whom curious creativity is a way of life. In his 90s he’s still working, creating and thriving and insists he only feels 30!
🖌️ His vibrant paintings burst with dramatic light and dark, playing with colour and drawing upon his Caribbean heritage. He powerfully captures the energy of Trinidadian carnival culture, folklore, and the cathartic power that the celebration holds.
👀 Join us for an intimate look inside his studio, writing shed, and kitchen, and experience his unique creative process that blends painting, poetry, cooking – and most importantly – love. Learn why mistakes are essential, why stepping away can spark inspiration, and how collecting objects can fuel new ideas.
