Garth Nix / Jonathan Nix, The Missing Key

Garth Nix/Jonathan Nix (Australia), The Missing Key, animation, in which the gramophone hero and his faithful oboe-playing cat do not speak but respond emotionally with music and lyrics. Set in a richly re-imagined Venice of the 1920’s, layers of optical illusions transport viewers us into this charming world. This film blends characters and music from Asia, Italy and Australia.
