Cars and Toy Story director John Lasseter is coming to Dublin next week to take part in a special animation event organised by the Irish Film & Television Academy.
As part of IFTA's In Conversation... series, double Oscar winner Lasseter and his producer colleague Denise Ream will discuss their work with Pixar Animation Studios, Disney and new movie Cars 2 at Cineworld on Monday July 25.
IFTA CEO Áine Moriarty said: "It is with great pleasure that we welcome John Lasseter to Ireland for this very special IFTA creative learning event.
"The animation sector is one of the strongest within the Irish industry, with home-produced feature film and television productions achieving great success and reaching record audiences in Ireland and around the globe.
"To see John Lasseter, one of the world’s leading pioneers of animated storytelling, share his vast knowledge and experience will be a huge thrill for Members of IFTA and his many Irish fans."
Members of the public will be able to enter a competition for the chance to win tickets to the interview, with further details available soon at: www.facebook.com/iftaonline.
