Kroon's New Film in T.R.A.N.S.I.T. T.R.A.N.S.I.T., a new short film from director
Piet Kroon (DaDa,) premiered recently at the Netherlands Film Festival,
and will be screened November 8 and 11 at the London Film Festival in the
section "Best of British Animation." The 12-minute film was simultaneously
created in the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S., with the contributions
of animators Jeroen van Blaaderen, Valerie Carmona (I Love You, My Cerise),
Michael Dudok de Wit (The Monk and the Fish), Nicolette van Gendt
(Daumier's Law), Andrew Higgins (Gourmand), Keiko Masuda,

animated mystery of a fatal love affair, in seven episodes, each in a different
style inspired by the 1920s Art Deco period. T.R.A.N.S.I.T. was
funded by grants from The Dutch Film Fund, Channel 4 (U.K.), and The Arts
Council of England National Lottery Film Scheme, and was co-produced by
Iain Harvey and Cecile Wijne.
