THE FILMS

WALL-E (Andrew Stanton | USA | 98 min.)
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

My Entire High School is Sinking Into the Sea
2017-04-18 - 2017-04-20 | Metrograph, No.7 Ludlow Street , New York, NY, 10002, United States
“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.

2016 / 77min / DCP
DIRECTOR: DASH SHAW

Ghost In the Shell (Anime!)
2017-03-28 - 2017-03-30 | Metrograph, No.7 Ludlow Street , New York, NY, 10002, United States
“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.

In Japanese with English subtitles

1995 / 83min / DCP
DIRECTOR: MAMORU OSHII
CAST: ATSUKO TANAKA, AKIO ÔTSUKA, KÔICHI YAMADERA, YUTAKA NAKANO

“What is Picture This!?”
PICTURE THIS! is a new show from Brandie Posey & Sam Varela: two girls who want to push the boundaries of what a comedy show can be. Picture This! is a live comedy show with stand-ups performing while they are drawn live by some of the best animators, cartoonists, and other artists in Hollywood, CA, SF, NYC and Portland. Picture This! has also debuted in Toronto, New Zealand and Australia! The comedians don’t know what the animators are drawing and the animators don’t know how the comedians will react.
It may be weird.
It may different.

“This is some of the strongest, finest alcoholic cider money can buy, or that can even be stolen. It burns in your throat, boils in your stomach, tastes almost exactly like pure, melted gold.” –Fantastic Mr. Fox
An urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers’ retaliation.
Dir. Wes Anderson. 2009. 87 min.

Cartoon Carnival 53: Fairytales & Fables
2017-02-25 08:00 - 22:30 | Shoestring Press, 663 Classon Ave, Brooklyn, NY, 11238, United States
It’s time to sit back and relax for another hefty batch of 16mm (no digital!) animated cartoons from the 1910s to the 1940s, straight from the Stathes Archives to the silver screen at Shoestring Press…

Throughout animation history, it was immensely popular to adapt (and spoof!) classic fairytales and fables from antiquity…sometimes giving them a ‘modern’ spin. This was especially true in the era of theatrical shorts, and we’re showcasing these whimsical animated versions of yesteryear to combat a dreary bit of February cabin fever. Mother Goose? Little Red Riding Hood? Cinderella? Snow White? Aladdin? Jack & the Beanstalk? We’ll have ’em, and many others, at TSCC #53. Bring a friend…bring the kids…bring anyone!!
Show tix $10 at the door.
Light refreshments will be available for purchase from Shoestring Press.
Doors at 8pm; show starts promptly thereafter. Arrive on time for good seats!
