Tim Burton returns

Tim Burton has been eloquently addressed by black symphony as the man with a thousand faces. This year his multiple faces will be on display at the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, in an art exhibition including drawings, paintings, sculptures, costumes, and storyboards, as well as a retrospective of his films. This is the next step in a journey which began in 2009 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and continued in Melbourne, Toronto, and Los Angeles. The following video by PUREchannel combines views of the exhibition with Tim Burton’s statements, while the Cinémathèque provides an interview, and a full video of the Master Class. 

Furthermore, two new films are on their way. The trailer of Dark Shadows reveals a refreshingly new take on the 1960s television series of the same name, combining gothic visuals with elements of comedy and satire. And then there is Frankenweenie, a stop-motion animated film, which I must admit I am particularly interested in. It is a remake of Tim Burton's 1984 short film, which is available here; I always thought of it as his best work together with Edward Scissorhands.
