Lost Animation VI: Obscure Short Films | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

These guys dig up rare or forgotten movies, often shorts and share them with audiences in their cozy screening room.

Guest curator Pete Gowdy and Oddball Films present “Lost Animation VI an evening of rarely screened classics and obscurities of world animation.

NOW SHOWING:

• Flatland (1965) — an animated version of the beloved Edwin Abbot novel featuring Dudley Moore!
• The Trendsetter (1969) — hipsters must die in this cool British film by Vera Linnecar
• The Fly (1980) — feel what it’s like to be a fly in this Oscar-winning short from Hungary
• The Hangman (1964) — based on the powerful Ogden Nash poem
• Walking (1968) — artfully captures how people walk
• Both Sides Now (1972) — early computer animation of the famous Joni Mitchell song
• What On Earth! (1966) — produced by the “National Film Board of Mars” who think cars are the dominant life force on Earth
• Opening Speech (1961) — typical Norman Mclaren genius-whimsy
• Ego (1969) — brilliant dreamscape animation by Bruno Bozzetto
• Noises in the Night (1969) — sweet animation from UPA founder’s Stephen Bosustow Productions.

JUST SO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS: Most of these films are quite scarce, despite scads of accolades and international awards.
