Wood engraver, book artist, master printer and time traveller: meet George A. Walker and enter his world of imagery, ideas and art production in this entertaining documentary.

In Detail

Lively, playful, and intelligent, with his signature hat and round glasses, George is an energetic and engaging man.

His achievements are impressive - 15 books and numerous awards but here we focus on Mary Pickford as George creates his final wordless biography about the Canadian girl who conquered Hollywood. The film explores his ideas and passions, and the narrative is told by using a wonderful visual and musical palette which includes animation, silent film and drawings.
