Lejf Marcussen

(1936 – 2013)

Born 1936. Filmdirector, animator. Educated at The Danish Designschool and The Royal Academy of Arts, Copenhagen. Since 1985, retrospectives of his work have been held in a dozen countries, including France, Spain, Israel, England, Canada, the United States and Norway.

In 1990, Marcussen won the Norman McLaren Heritage Award at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. Two years earlier, his film "The Public Voice" garnered awards at Annecy and six other festivals. A great explorer of different techniques, Marcussen makes films that borrow from musical structures rather than story structures.
