But this week's lineup of films are what I really wanted to see, the theme being non-traditional film making, and featuring an animation by Don Hertzfeldt (creator of Rejected). Next week's theme is documentaries. I'm sure it would still be entertaining, but I'm really going to regret missing tonight's. |
Oh, too bad you didn't go. They are featuring the academy-award-winning short for this year, called "Ryan." I can honestly say that it was my favorite film of the year. It was beautiful and brilliant. And I knew the academy would never support something as fragile and incredible as it was. Boy, was I surprised.
If any of you want to see it sometime, we're waiting for our DVD copy to arrive in the mail. It might befit a Ryan-watching party.
