Special to IFN

The Full Bloom Film Festival Committee has announced a new addition to this year’s lineup with its first-ever animated feature film.

“The Inventor,” which captures the life and imagination of Leonardo da Vinci, will be presented on Saturday, September 7, at 2:30 p.m. in Shearer Hall on the campus of Mitchell Community College.

From the writer of “Ratatouille,” this enchanting stop-motion animation film follows the curious Leonardo da Vinci as he travels from Italy to the French court. There, alongside the audacious princess Marguerite, Leonardo embarks on a series of thrilling experiments and extraordinary inventions. Through their adventures, the pair explores the mysteries of life and the universe, ultimately seeking the answer to the age-old question: “What is the meaning of it all?”

Directed by Jim Capobianco and Pierre-Luc Granjon, “The Inventor” offers a unique blend of historical narrative and creative animation, making it an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. 

“We are excited to expand our festival’s offerings with the inclusion of The Inventor, our first animated feature,” said Brandon Sproul, Full Bloom Film Festival Committee member. “This film not only showcases the boundless creativity of Leonardo da Vinci but also aligns with our mission to present diverse and thought-provoking stories.”
