Animated Short Nominee Screening
Friday, February 18, 7:00pm
Our pal and animation maven Ron Diamond (of Acme Filmworks) will be back in the Bay Area this month with another great touring show. Ron will be presenting the five short animated films nominated for Academy Awards:
Day & Night, directed by Teddy Newton. United States.
Let’s Pollute directed by Geefwee Boedoe. United States.
Madagascar, A Journey Diary directed by Bastien Dubois. France.
The Gruffalo directed by Jakob Schuh, Max Lang. Great Britain.
The Lost Thing directed by Andrew Ruhemann, Shaun Tan. Australia.
If you’re a member of ASIFA-SF, you can join the local pros who get to see the show. Ron always manages to coax a few of the directors along, so this is a rare opportunity for Q&A along with the screening on a big digital screen. Invitations will be sent by e-mail and space is limited. And if you wish that you were a member, you can always join right here, right now!
I love Ron Diamond—he does such a service touring with these shows! Count me in!
The two USA nominees are both in the bay area. Go team!
