FILM 1304: FAR OUT ISN'T FAR
ENOUGH: THE TOMI UNGERER STORY
Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi
Ungerer Story depicts one man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal
boundaries through his use of subversive art. This 98-minute film combines
traditional documentary storytelling with original animation from over 70 years
worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator. Using a
historical palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet
controversial life story, this HD documentary film offers a feature-length
retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, pondering the complexities and
contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and
a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices
during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history.
Far Out Isn't Far Enough explores the circumstances of his meteoric rise and
fall on American soil, but also delves into Ungerer's formative years leading
up to, and prolific years since, his time in America.
