Amok-imation

Wed, Sep 14
6:30pm-11pm
$7-$20

Wry, dark and painfully funny, these animated works from Sweden,
Mexico, the Netherlands and the Philippines are not your typical
Saturday morning cartoons. Films include: The Guilt Trip, or The
Vatican Takes a Holiday (Lisa Barcy) In a dilapidated church, icons
of Catholicism run amok, Jesus and Mary Magdalene steal away for an
adventurous road trip, and the Pope tends his restless herd with an
iron fist. Told with stop-motion animated puppets and mixed media.
Give AIDS the Freeze (Cathy Joritz) hand-drawn animation over a
1950s educational film is used to create this raucous promotional
piece. Gum and Tea(Samuael Topiary and E.E. Miller) a meditation on
oral fixation and the presidency, this short features an local artist
as she talks about her fanciful project for the president of the US.
Plus more. Free BBQ Starts at 6:30pm.
