Animation heads of all ages rejoice! We’ve got a supersized helping of adorable animated celluloid with *Stop-Motion **Explosion!*, a program of delightful, mesmerizing, and mind-blowing stop-motion animation from the 1940s to the 1980s screening entirely on 16mm film on our big screen! In a world saturated with CGI, we’re opening the vaults to celebrate when historical, fantastical, and anthropomorphic creatures were hand-sculpted and manipulated into “life.” This program of delightful shorts from around the world includes work by stop-motion pioneers George Pal, Karel Zeman, Art Clokey, Ladislas Starevich, Will Vinton, and visits from Paddington Bear, Frog and Toad, and more! Bring the kids or your besties for a show that’s millions of minute movements in the making! Everything screened on 16mm film from the Sweet 16mm collection.
