Collider work features in Times Square for Nelson Mandela project

A short film created by a Sydney film and design collective featuring Nelson Mandela’s most famous and powerful speeches and words of wisdom is being screened across Times Square.

Collider was invited to create the three-minute piece of animated typography titled The Power of Words, by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Film Institute to commemorate the 95th birthday of Nelson Mandela.

One of Collider’s directors, Nabil Elderkin, is on good terms with Mandela’s grandson Kweku Mandela.

The shorts are screening all throughout April and show nightly at 11.57pm as part of the “Midnight Moment: A Digital Gallery” event.
