Obscured Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for Endless Cookie, the latest animated feature from director\/animator Seth Scriver and co-director Peter Scriver, half-brothers whose intertwined lives form the backbone of the film\u2019s impressionistic, documentary narrative.<\/p>\n
After eight years of painstaking work, the film has enjoyed a stellar festival run, having earned major honors including Annecy\u2019s Contrechamp Jury Award, the Golden Alexander at Thessaloniki, and the Rogers Audience Award at Hot Docs. Now, the long-awaited feature is finally headed to theaters, opening in New York and L.A. on Friday, December 5.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s trailer introduces a vibrant, free-associative collage of memories as the Scriver brothers revisit stories from their upbringing in Toronto\u2019s Kensington Market to Pete\u2019s current life in the remote Northern Manitoba First Nation community of Shamattawa. Their recollections fold into one another, often veering off course as family members jump in to share their own anecdotes. The result is a vivid, surreal portrait of family history that doubles as a documentary on creativity, craft, and storytelling.<\/p>\n
Seth \u2014 an artist, animator, and carpenter based in Toronto \u2014 won the Best Canadian First Feature award at TIFF in 2013 for Asphalt Watches. Pete, a First Nations carver, poet, mechanic, and storyteller, was recently nominated for a Hero Award after rescuing a neighbor from a burning home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Obscured Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for Endless Cookie, the latest animated feature from director\/animator Seth Scriver…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":380856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-380855","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115554107021322389","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
