If you are in Southern California next Tuesday, July 6th, come and meet animator Gene Deitch who will appear in person at a tribute screening at the CineFamily/Silent Movie Theatre.

This is part of my regular monthly animation screenings at the CineFamily. Regular Brew readers know who Deitch is: he’s one of the last living directors of animated cartoons from the golden age; the creator of Tom Terrific, Sick Sick Sidney and Nudnik; and an incredible cartoonist, designer and human being. We will screen an overview of his vast career – including several rarities – and conduct a Q&A.

Seating is limited. Tickets can be ordered in advance HERE. Deitch lives in Prague and rarely ever visits his hometown (Los Angeles!) – Don’t miss this one-time-only public appearance by the Oscar winning Gene Deitch!
