NEW 2K RESTORATION!
The first feature length animation ever produced in Slovakia, Brigand Jurko is a myth-infused retelling of the Slovakian Robin Hood bandit/highwayman Jurko Jánošík’s fabled adventures. Beloved in Eastern Europe and seldom screened in North America, this delightfully unclassifiable melding of comedy, drama, action, tragedy and musical is a sight to behold.
Brigand Jurko tours as part of Viktor Kubal: Father of Slovak Animation, a retrospective of the landmark animator’s pioneering work in much-loved children’s shorts as well as subversive – though no less groundbreaking – feature films. (ARBELOS Films)
