SUMMARY:The Animation Block Party
DESCRIPTION:In 2003-04\, Casey Safron was hosting animation screenings in downtown Manhattan. These pre-YouTube era events quickly grew in popularity. Safron’s college roommate owned a coffee shop in East Williamsburg called The Archive that had access to a screen down the block. The first official Animation Block Party took place on Sept. 9\, 2004. \nIn 2005\, Animation Block Party (ABP) received corporate sponsorship and began working with the Brooklyn Academy of Music. ABP partnered with Rooftop Films in 2006 and evolved into a four day festival as attendance grew by thousands each July. Over the past 15 years\, ABP has presented holiday events for Valentine’s\, Halloween\, etc.\, and hosted showcases in cities ranging from Stockholm to London\, New Orleans and Los Angeles. \nAnimation Block Party’s 15th annual summerfest is July 26-29\, 2018

SUMMARY:Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Studio Ghibli Festival!
DESCRIPTION:NAUSICAA\, the debut film from Oscar winner Hayao Miyazaki tells the story of a young princess\, both brave and innocent\, whose love for all living things and passion for understanding the processes of nature lead her into danger\, sacrifice\, and eventual triumph. Set in a devastated future world decimated by atmospheric poisons and swarming with gigantic insects\, there is no good or evil\, but rather conflicting viewpoints\, weaknesses\, and power struggles. Considered to be his best masterpiece\, Miyazaki’s NAUSICAA is awe-inspiring and not to be missed.

SUMMARY:Paige K. Bradley Presents Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
DESCRIPTION:FACEBOOK INVITE \nJin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade\, Hiroyuki Okiura\, 1999\, digital projection\, 102 mins \nJin-Roh is a 1999 anime film written by Oshii Mamoru and loosely adapted from a manga he wrote—called the Kerberos series or Kerberos saga after the multi-headed hound that guarded the gate of hell in Greek mythology—which ran from about 1988 to 2009. Though the series\, meticulously illustrated by Fujiwara Kamui\, spawned several live action films\, Jin Roh is the only animated film based on the material\, and the various arcs of the story are all set in a parallel universe where Germany\, rather than the US\, has asserted militaristic and cultural influence over Japan in the postwar era. The foundation of Jin Roh’s story then\, as often in life\, is the fight for domination\, and separating the dogs from the wolves. Packs of hounds maneuver around each other throughout the film: the heavily armed paramilitary Capital Police\, ostensibly formed for counterterrorism operations; their bureaucrat supervisors in the Public Security Division; a Special Unit within the police force that mainly combats a radical guerilla group called the Sect; and a rumored splinter cell within the Special Unit itself called Jin-Roh\, translated as “Wolf Brigade.” \nThe distinct realism of the film in setting\, animation\, and design is a marked contrast with most anime\, which is far more diverse in form than it is often given credit for\, but tends to hew towards the fantastical and exaggerated. Little of Jin-Roh seems unlikely\, regardless of its rewind of history. The standalone feature film is also less common in anime\, and the grounded political drama of Jin-Roh is exceptional in its commitment to rendering a kind of solemn\, sober\, postwar aesthetic generally lacking in the hyped-up\, afterschool drama and flamboyant posturing of other war-centric anime such as the Gundam series. There are no heroes here. Early on in Jin-Roh\, an ordinary constable in the Special Unit\, a loner named Fuse Kazuki\, fails to follow orders to shoot and kill a young guerilla wearing red and serving as a bomb carrier—or “Little Red Riding Hood” as they’re called—for the Sect through the city’s sewers. His superiors ask later why he didn’t shoot her first before her bomb went off\, inevitably killing her anyway. His official answer: “I don’t know.” This is often how people go down\, and a dog that can’t follow orders might have to be put down. When another girl who looks just like the first shows up and says she was her sister\, regardless of whether that’s true\, we see that she\, like the rebel underground\, is another challenge to the soldier\, another strange\, unquantifiable interruption in the orderly flow of acts and executions that the society his organization purports to defend is premised on. \nThe latest trend in fear is the terrorism of a lone wolf\, who\, thinking they can do one better than dying like a dog\, wages a private war. Fuse is the lone wolf here\, but rather than exacting personal revenge for structural hells\, he is\, instead\, just alone. \nWhen I was thirteen I was obsessed with the moment at the grave vaults a half hour into Jin-Roh\, a scene three minutes later is what thrills me now. The sound in Kei’s throat\, as if she were suddenly remembering something\, or acting like it\, then the soft click of a purse when she takes out a German edition of the story of Red Riding Hood for Fuse\, “I’ll give it to you instead.” It feels impossibly soft and simple because it is. I rewound the DVD then\, I slide the playback bar now\, I still can’t believe it\, and that’s why I want to. \nBoth the writer and animation director of Jin-Roh\, Oshii Mamoru and Kamiyama Kenji\, have helmed iterations of the lauded Ghost in the Shell franchise—for Oshii it was the 1995 film that was an early crossover of anime to the West\, and for Kamiyama the 2002-2005 Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex television series. And while Ghost has been consistently hailed for addressing the advent of digital consciousness\, I can’t help but think that the central question of Jin-Roh is the evergreen one: What parts of you will be allowed to live\, if you want to survive? A common man\, sometimes a soldier\, lives and dies by hierarchy—he is dumb enough to be trained to destroy that which would love him. He is tricked into snuffing out his own candle. In war\, the men are often armored\, and when they stockpile safety for themselves\, the woman can rebel with little to lose except life itself. She steps in front of the heavy shield that would protect her\, and into the line of sight. I see her\, you see her\, and then she’s gone. \n– PKB \nPaige Katherine Bradley is an artist\, arts editor for GARAGE\, and a former associate editor at Artforum. \nTickets – $8\, available at door. \nPlease note: seating is limited. First-come\, first-served. Box office opens at 7pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:An Evening with Candy Kugel @ MOMA
DESCRIPTION:MOMA LINK \nIn Candy Kugel’s new film I\, Candy (2018)\, the process of deconstructing a childhood drawing triggers the artist’s reflections on a personal history with anti-Semitism\, political activism\, and life choices affected by luck and determination. Displaying an encyclopedic range of animation techniques with remarkable dexterity\, I\, Candy is a testament to Kugel’s pioneering 45-year career in the field. Animation artist and historian John Canemaker joins Kugel to discuss her legacy as a woman artist in the traditionally male business of animation.

SUMMARY:Make Pictures Hosted by GIPHY Arts and bitforms gallery nyc
DESCRIPTION:Facebook invite: https://www.facebook.com/events/225305618027375/ \nMake Pictures: Wednesday March 21 – Sunday March 25\nGallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday\, 11 AM – 6 PM & Sunday 12 – 6 PM\nbitforms gallery\, 131 Allen St.\, New York\, NY 10002 \nOpening Reception: Wednesday March 21\, 6 – 8 PM\nCasey Reas and Jeffrey Alan Scudder in Conversation: Saturday March 24\, 2:30 PM \nbitforms gallery is pleased to present Make Pictures\, featuring four web-based drawing and animation tools commissioned by GIPHY Arts and curated by artist Jeffrey Alan Scudder. Works on view and available to use include Sketch Machine by Casey Reas\, Extinctr by Harm van den Dorpel\, Eyemall by Withering Systems\, and Boopy by Andrew Benson. Pictures created by gallery visitors using the tools will be displayed in the gallery for the duration of the show. \nSketch Machine by Casey Reas is an open source software for creating freehand animations in real time or frame by frame. The user can draw with different colored points\, lines\, and planes and modify qualities of the animation such as jitter\, speed\, and playback. Animations can be exported as GIFs and circulated online. Sketch Machine is created within the tradition of direct animation works by Len Lye and Stan Brakhage and exploratory drawing software like Kid Pix and TURUX.  \nExtinctr is a pixel sorting algorithm and web tool by Harm van den Dorpel that accepts any image as input\, and outputs an animated vertical decomposition of that image into a pixelated mound. The user can control the speed of the dismantling procedure (scatter) and record any duration of the process to export as a GIF. \nThe Eyemall is a toy by Withering Systems for creating an exquisite corpse from a curated\, tagged selection of human body-part GIFs in GIPHY’s database. Hands\, eyes\, noses\, sweaters\, shorts\, knees\, lips\, and other body parts come together to form an interactive marionette-like figure; a single body made from disparate GIF parts.  \nBoopy is a drawing tool by Andrew Benson developed in response to the question “What would it be like if\, as you are drawing\, the canvas was looping?” Boopy allows the user to build complex\, layered\, repeating patterns from different textured brushes. It also includes a webcam feature that allows a user to reveal their image by erasing a layer with animated strokes. \n— \nCasey REAS writes software to explore emergent systems. His work brings together conceptualism\, systems theory\, experimental film and animation\, and drawing. While software is at the core of his practice\, his work spans installation\, works on paper\, and live performance. Reas has been featured in exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, SF; Art Institute of Chicago\, Chicago\, IL; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, CA; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France; Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, England; MIT Museum\, Cambridge\, MA; Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, MA; Eyebeam\, New York\, NY; Ars Electronica\, Linz\, Austria; Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe\, Karlsruhe\, Germany\, and others. Reas is the co-creator\, with Ben Fry\, of Processing\, an open source programming language and environment. The project was initiated in 2001. \nHarm van den Dorpel lives and works in Berlin. Selected (group) exhibitions include the New Museum in New York\, MoMa PS1 in New York\, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing\, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Museum Kurhaus Kleve\, ZKM Karlsruhe\, and the Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam. In 2015\, Van den Dorpel started Left Gallery\, an online gallery that commissions\, produces\, and sells downloadable files. \nWithering Systems is a small software label and umbrella for the collaborative projects of Katie Rose Pipkin and Loren Schmidt\, based in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. They aim to bring quiet and unusual digital experiences to the public in unlikely places\, such as on social media\, in printed material\, or on the street. Past work includes inflorescence.city\, the moth generator\, luminous corridor\, as well as many other small games\, print projects\, and plant-growth simulations. \nAndrew Benson lives in Los Angeles\, formerly San Francisco\, and works primarily in time-based (often realtime) digital media. His practice incorporates 3D animation\, experimental and process-driven video\, software development\, interactive technologies\, web programming. He comes from a painting and music background and started working with experimental graphics and video as an outgrowth of performing at noise shows.  \nJeffrey Alan Scudder\, born in 1989\, lives and works in Berkeley\, CA where he spends his time programming and making pictures. Since 2017 he has presented 18 Radical Digital Painting lectures often in collaboration with other artists\, at various venues including ZKM Karlsruhe\, RISD\, Harvard\, Yale\, Temple University\, Rutgers\, and UMASS. He has taught at UCLA and Parsons School for Design and worked at the design studio Linked by Air. Scudder received an MFA in sculpture from Yale University School of Art in 2013. \nGIPHY Arts is a subsidiary of GIPHY\, the GIF search engine. GIPHY Arts expands the prominence of the GIF as an artistic medium and format by directly engaging and commissioning artists\, creating new distribution possibilities\, and pioneering new technology.

SUMMARY:Floyd Norman: An Animated Life
DESCRIPTION:“Dirs. Michael Fiore\, Erik Sharkey. 2016\, 94 mins. DCP. Hired by Walt Disney in 1956\, Floyd Norman was the first African-American animator to work for the studio. He has been called the “Forrest Gump” of animation\, because he worked on such timeless classics as The Sleeping Beauty\, 101 Dalmatians\, and The Jungle Book\, as well as the Hanna Barbera cartoons of the 1970s and ‘80s\, and Pixar classics like Toy Story 2 and Monsters\, Inc. He has continued to work on his own\, and at age 82\, he plans to “die at the drawing board.” The Hollywood Reporter called this enchanting documentary portrait “an entertaining salute to an unsung figure whose considerable accomplishments well deserve recognition.” In this rare New York appearance\, Floyd Norman will talk about his remarkable career in animation. The filmmakers Michael Fiore and Erik Sharkey will also participate in the discussion.” \nSCREENING & LIVE EVENT\nFloyd Norman: An Animated Life\nASIFA EAST Members: be on the lookout for a discount code coming to an email inbox near you! \n \nSunday\, October 29\, 1:30 p.m. \nMuseum of the Moving Image – Redstone Theater \nADD TO MY CALENDAR BUY TICKETS\n\n\nWith Floyd Norman\, Michael Fiore\, and Erik Sharkey in person

SUMMARY:My Entire High School is Sinking Into the Sea
DESCRIPTION:“Dash (Jason Schwartzman) and his best friend Assaf (Reggie Watts) are preparing for another year at Tides High School muckraking on behalf of their widely-distributed but little-read school newspaper\, edited by their friend Verti (Maya Rudolph). But just when a blossoming relationship between Assaf and Verti threatens to destroy the boys’ friendship\, Dash learns of a cover-up by the administration that puts all the students in danger. As disaster erupts and the friends race to escape through the roof of the school\, they are joined by a popular know-it-all (Lena Dunham) and a lunch lady (Susan Sarandon) who is much more than meets the eye. But even as the film piles on brilliant details like a post-apocalyptic cult formed by jocks\, video game homages\, and an infectious synth soundtrack\, it never loses sight of the characters at the heart of the story. \n \n\n2016 / 77min / DCP\nDIRECTOR: DASH SHAW \nCAST: JASON SCHWARTZMAN\, LENA DUNHAM\, REGGIE WATTS\, MAYA RUDOLPH\, SUSAN SARANDON \n\nJohn Cameron Mitchell moderates a Q&A with Dash Shaw\, Jane Samborski and Kyle Martin at the 7pm show on Saturday\, April 15.\nQ&As with Dash Shaw\, Jane Samborski and Kyle Martin at the 7pm shows on Friday & Sunday\, April 14 & 16. \nA Gkids release”

SUMMARY:Ghost In the Shell (Anime!)
DESCRIPTION: \n\n“My codename is Project 2501\, and I am a life form that was born in a sea of information.” In the year 2029\, the world looks like a hybridization of Hong Kong\, Tokyo\, and New York\, yielding to entropy and technocracy. Cyborg Major Kusanagi\, a perfect specimen of human-brained computer engineering is on the case to track and destroy an omnipotent entity known as The Puppet Master—a hacker? a virus?— who threatens world order. Her journey is equally physical and existential\, and shaped seamlessly by Mamoru Oshii’s animation\, combining traditional hand-drawn cells and computer generated graphics. As resonant now as ever\, the haunting\, awe-inspring original Ghost in the Shell is Oshii’s magnum opus; the groundbreaking anime gets a revival run at Metrograph one week before the release of the new live action film. \n \nIn Japanese with English subtitles \n\n1995 / 83min / DCP\nDIRECTOR: MAMORU OSHII \nCAST: ATSUKO TANAKA\, AKIO ÔTSUKA\, KÔICHI YAMADERA\, YUTAKA NAKANO \nGhost In The Shell is screening as part of the series: The Singularity
