All Ajyal Youth Film Festival 2014 Events
In Conversation: Roger Allers
Event Description
One of the world’s greatest animation film directors and screenwriters – he was nominated for an Academy Award for his short film ‘The Little Matchgirl’ in 2006 – Roger Allers is perhaps best known as the co-director of Disney’s magnificent classic ‘The Lion King’. His most recent film is an extraordinary adaptation of Kahlil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’, which closes Ajyal this year. Come and see fellow animator Mohammed Saeed Harib – creator of the Gulf television phenomenon ‘Freej’ and a contributor to ‘Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet’ – in conversation with Allers, when the two will discuss the secrets behind the art of animation.
