Janus Films will be unveiling two new pristine prints of Albert Lamorisse's endearing films The Red Balloon and The White Mane. An interesting figure of the 20th century, Lamorisse is probably best known for creating the board game Risk, although he was an avid photographer, documentarian and filmmaker. He would go on to win the Palm d'Or for The Red Balloon at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. He died in a helicopter crash over Iran whilst shooting a documentary in 1970. Janus films will kick of a 30-city tour of the double feature at New York's Film Forum on November 16th.
