Don¹t miss the exclusive southern California showing of
THE 18TH ANNUAL ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS
From October 21-27 in three LA Locations, including:
Sundance Sunset CinemaLaemmle Playhouse in PasadenaFrida Cinema in Santa Ana
The 18th Annual Animated Show of Shows will feature 16 shorts from 11 countries that are highly curated by it's founder Ron Diamond; who, for the last 18 years has selected 32 Academy Award® nominated films and nine Oscar® winning films, including one of my favorites, Disney Animation's The Feast.
In addition, those who attend the evening screenings will have the opportunity to see a bonus of four provocative shorts exclusively for mature audiences including “Corpus” which features a bizarre chain reaction between inanimate objects and human body parts; an exploration of the pain and pleasure of love in “Blue;” a brief and rapid descent into the depths of depravity in “Manoman” and “All Their Shades,” a gently satirical paean to the wonders of the female gender.
There will also be a number of special daytime screenings which are specifically designed to be family-friendly and appropriate for viewers of six years and up. Highlights of the matinees include “About a Mother,” a new folktale with echoes of Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree,” Disney/Pixar’s sweet “Piper,” and the latest in 360º storytelling in Google’s touching father-and daughter-journey “Pearl” by Academy Award® winner Patrick Osborne.
