CARTOONS: NO LAUGHING MATTER
Heads up, New Yorkers! The Film Forum is presenting CARTOONS: No Laughing Matter?, a program of new animated shorts begining Wednesday, May 10th. These new works, by eight well known independent animators, include Suzan Pitt’s bizarre Mexican fantasy, "El Doctor" (pictured above), Lisa Crafts’s "The Flooded Playground", a nightmare of childhood fears, the latest film from George Griffin, "It Pains Me to Say This" and JJ Villard's riff on Charles Bukowski, "Son Of Satan". Films from Andy & Carolyn London, Suzie Templeton, Chris Shepherd & David Shrigley and Debra Solomon are also included. CARTOONS: No Laughing Matter? will play for two weeks, May 10-23, and they say the program is not appropriate for children.
