“Madame Tutli-Putli“ boards the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past. She travels alone, facing both the kindness and menace of strangers. As day descends into dark, she finds herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure. Adrift between real and imagined worlds, Madame Tutli-Putli confronts her demons and is drawn into an undertow of mystery and suspense. The National Film Board of Canada presents a stunning, stop-motion animated film that takes the viewer on an exhilarating existential journey. The film introduces groundbreaking visual techniques and is supported by a haunting and original score. Painstaking care and craftsmanship in form and detail bring to life a fully imagined, tactile world unlike any you have seen before. Jungian thriller? Hitchcockian suspense? Artistic tour de force? The night train awaits you.

Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski (CA) have recently completed their first professional film, "Madame Tutli-Putli", produced by the National Film Board of Canada. In addition to their role as filmmakers, Chris and Maciek wear many hats—as animators, sculptors, collage artists, screenplay writers, and art directors. In 1997 they founded Clyde Henry Productions, a Montreal- based film and production Company specializing in multimedia, stop-motion animation and visual effects. They have received acclaim for their award-winning illustrations, music Videos and broadcast design, and provoked a cult following for "The Untold Tales of Yuri Gagarin", a serial comic strip published in "Vice" magazine.
