PRESENTED BY THE DIRECTOR

Clive_A._Smith-220x231Progressive and daring for its time, Nelvana’s “Rock & Rule” (1983) was the first English-speaking animated feature film ever made entirely in Canada. It features adult themes, and a stellar rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack including songs from Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, and Earth Wind & Fire. Unfortunately, the production faced an enormous amount of hurdles and due in part to a lack of marketing and distribution, it was a box-office flop. Now, over 30 years later, “Rock & Rule” enjoys a cult status on par with “Heavy Metal.” Director Clive Smith discusses the challenges the production faced, and the film’s enduring legacy.
