KID KOALA’S “SPACE CADET” IS THE OPENING FILM AT FESTIVAL DU NOUVEAU CINEMA
After enchanting audiences at Berlinale, Annecy, BAFICI Buenos Aires, Guadalajara, Hong Kong, Dublin, TIFF and more, Kid Koala’s debut animated feature Space Cadet is finally here for its Montréal premiere — opening the 54th Festival du Nouveau Cinéma tonight at Théâtre Maisonneuve, Place des Arts tonight!
Directed and scored by Kid Koala (Eric San) and based on his award-winning graphic novel, Space Cadet is a tender, visually stunning odyssey about love, distance, and connection — blending hand-drawn animation and original music into a moving cinematic experience from one of Canada’s most imaginative artists.
After the screening, join the free public opening party at UQAM’s Agora du Cœur des sciences, where Kid Koala takes the stage for Vinyl Vaudeville: The Silliest Show on Earth!
