JEREMY ROURKE + KATHLEEN QUILLIAN + HARRY SMITH +
Our seasonal celebration of all things Animated is anchored on local hero Jeremy Rourke‘s sensational set of pixillated eye-poppers, featuring his new piece Raindance Redux, commissioned by the Orphan Film Fest! Jeremy gigs, jigs, and zig-zags over our gallery pedestals in his five-title, half-hour hullaballoo ending with a Toon Tune dedicated to dear departed Helen Hill. Jeremy does a podium handstand in her honor! Kathleen Quillian works those same pedestals with her Ten Dollar Bill zoetrope zinger, with a live whirly-tube track! Esoteric alchemist Harry Smith‘s early direct-animations are displayed in Paola Igliori‘s American Magus, after we are treated to an eccentric history of animation masters: Winsor McCay, Max Fleischer, Len Lye, Philip Stapp, Bruce Bickford, John Knecht, and Sally Cruikshank‘s 1978 Quasi at the Quackadero (on 16mm!). Come early for free candy, archival gems from CCA(C)‘s Animation Department, and Jim Henson‘s 1968 Time Piece. $12
