President Jimmy Carter offers the Festival his congratulations, and Martin Rosen’s much-anticipated Watership Down holds its World Premiere. Honorees include Mickey Mouse, who arrived via train from Disneyland and met with Mayor Michael Bilandic before a screening of classic Disney animation clips; and Orson Welles who, unable to attend in person, created a special short film for the occasion. Debuts at the Festival include Hungarian film A Quite Ordinary Life by Imre Gyöngyössy and Barna Kabay, and Spanish director Jaime Chavarri’s To an Unknown God.
