Parallel Cinema: The 22nd Annual Animation Show of Shows

Our weekly run of alternative content including animation, documentaries, independent films, art films, musicals, and simulcasting. We will also feature guest speakers to bring you an elevated theater experience.

February’s Parallel Cinema will be centered around Nature with a special talk from Morgan Apperson “Let’s Talk About our Food System” on February 23rd.

This week we will be showing The 22nd Annual Animation Show of Shows.

“This 22nd edition comprises 10 films — nine recent, along with one restored classic — which deal with both the anxieties and hopes of a world faced with a seemingly endless series of existential crises. All are inventive, their tone ranges from the whimsical to the profound; their techniques, from stop-motion to hand-drawn to computer-aided.”
