Animation Show 2007

Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt have announced the line-up for the third edition of the ANIMATION SHOW. Having seen all the films in the line-up with the exception of one, let me just say that this is a superb program. It's a perfect sampling of the indie animation scene and includes a bit of everything: hand-drawn, CG, stop-motion, abstract, it's all here. Films include Run Wrake's RABBIT, Joanna Quinn's DREAMS AND DESIRES, Don Hertzfeldt's EVERYTHING WILL BE OK, Shane Acker's NINE and Gaëlle Denis's CITY PARADISE.

The touring schedule of the upcoming ANIMATION SHOW is different as well. They're switching from conventional art house runs to a "music concert"-style schedule in which they'll play limited one or two-night engagements throughout the US. LA folks will get the show for two nights: February 7, 2007 at Royce Hall in UCLA and February 15 at the Rialto in Pasadena. The complete tour schedule can be found HERE. If it hits your area, I highly recommend checking it out.
