Shorts Program 4: Animated Worlds
This is a delightful, odd, and sometimes touching collection of shorts. The one thing they have in common is that they are animated – some are classic claymation, others are strange digital creations, yet others are regular cartoons. There's the brilliant piece "9," a sort of post-apocalyptic adventure story in which a strange little creature goes up against a terrifying monster. "Guard Dog" presents a dog determined to protect his master from even the most dangerous foes to be found on a walk through the park. A famous philosopher sings and dances in "Spirit of Gravity," while the extremely peculiar "Egg" presents an odd reworking of "Moby Dick." Another famous literary work is redone in "Oedipus" and the damsel in distress fable is re-envisioned in "Ritterschlag." The others are also unusual and beautiful to look at. This is a program to catch if you like animation of just about any kind.
Shows 3/5, 12:30 pm (Camera 12) and 3/7, 7:00 pm (Camera 12)
