164 N State St, Chicago, IL 60601
Opening Friday, September 8th, at 8PM
On view through Sunday, September 10th
Now in its 18th year, this is the ace of animation compilation shows, prized by industry professionals, students, and fans. It is curated by animation expert and producer Ron Diamond, who has scouted 39 eventual Oscar nominees and 15 winners among the many prize-winners culled from around the globe. This year’s crop of 16 films from 11 nations includes Patrick Osborne’s Oscar-nominated road-of-life movie PEARL; Chris Ware’s visualization of an Ira Glass story, MIRROR; Alan Barillaro’s Oscar-winning Pixar production, PIPER; Kristian Pedersen’s moody, near-abstract riff on Norse mythology, BØYGEN; Dina Velikovskaya’s African-themed fable, ABOUT A MOTHER; Marc Héricher’s fusion of anatomy and gadgetry, CORPUS; Simon Cartwright’s Guys Gone Wild horror show, MANOMAN; and Chloé Alliez’s wry twist on misogynist clichés, ALL THEIR SHADES. DCP digital. (MR)
