Shorts: Animated at the Ann Arbor Film Festival
Program length: 92 min.
For 53 years, the Ann Arbor Film Festival has
brought remarkable cinematic experiences to
experimental film lovers. And since 2010, we
have brought our favorites from their comprehensive
selection Up North. This year, we present
ten shorts reflecting diverse approaches to
the fine art of animation. We begin with Herman,
a rat who enjoys heavy drinking, loud grind
music, and chess, until a tidy cat with a weakness
for messy macho-men decides to move in
with her vacuum cleaner and classical music record
collection. And we end with “LOVE,” a film
in three chapters describing affection through
an impact on a distant solar system. In between,
we are treated to the best in new avant garde
animated short film. In Person: Leslie Raymond,
Executive Director, Ann Arbor Film Festival.
