SUMMARY:The 19th Annual "Animation Show of Shows"
DESCRIPTION:THE 19TH ANNUAL ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS OFFERS A WEALTH OFHUMOR\, INSIGHT\, AND PROFUNDITY \n\nThe ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS returns MDC MAGIC this Spring\, presenting 16 exceptional and inspiring animated shorts from around the world. At a time of increasing social instability and global anxiety about a range of issues\, the works in this year’s show have a special resonance\, presenting compelling ideas about our place in society and how we fit into the world. \n\n\n“Because animation is such a natural medium for dealing with abstract ideas and existential concerns\, the ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS has always included a number of thoughtful and engaging films\,” says founder and curator Ron Diamond. “However\, more than in previous years\, I believe that this year’s program really offers contemporary animation that expresses deeply felt issues in our own country and around the world.” \nThese films include Niki Lindroth von Bahr’s Annecy Grand Prix-winning “The Burden\,” a melancholy\, funny and moving film that explores the tribulations\, hopes and dreams of a group of night-shift employees\, uniquely capturing the zeitgeist of our time. At the other end of the spectrum\, David OReilly’s playful and profound “Everything\,” based on the work of the late philosopher Alan Watts\, explores the interconnectedness of the universe and the multiplicity of perspectives that underlie reality. \n\n\n\n\n \n16 animated short films presented in order of appearance:\n\nCan You Do It – Quentin Baillieux\, France\nTiny Big – Lia Bertels\, Belgium\nNext Door – Pete Docter\, U.S.\nThe Alan Dimension – Jac Clinch\, UK\nBeautiful Like Elsewhere – Elise Simard\, Canada\nHangman – Paul Julian and Les Goldman\, U.S.\nThe Battle of San Romano – Georges Schwizgebel\, Switzerland\nGokurosama – Clémentine Frère\, Aurore Gal\, Yukiko Meignien\, Anna Mertz\, Robin Migliorelli\, Romain Salvini\, France\nDear Basketball – Glen Keane\, U.S.\nIsland – Max Mörtl and Robert Löbel\, Germany\nUnsatisfying – Parallel Studio\, France\nMy Burden – Niki Lindroth von Bahr\, Sweden\nLes Abeilles Domestiques (Domestic Bees) Alexanne Desrosiers\, Canada\nOur Wonderful Nature: The Common Chameleon – Tomer Eshed\, Germany\nCasino – Steven Woloshen\, Canada\nEverything – David OReilly\, U.S\n\n\nThe 19th ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS represents the work of artists from eight countries\, including nine women. Funny\, moving\, engaging\, and thought-provoking\, the ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS not only has something for everyone\, but is a remarkable and insightful microcosm of our world. \n\nPRESS FOR HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES AND INTERVIEWS CONTACT: RON.DIAMOND@ANIMATIONSHOWOFSHOWS.ORG \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\nThere is limited seating for this event\, register now and save your spot: REGISTER EVENTBRITE \n\n16 animated short films presented in order of appearance\n\nCan You Do It – Quentin Baillieux\, France\nTiny Big – Lia Bertels\, Belgium\nNext Door – Pete Docter\, U.S.\nThe Alan Dimension – Jac Clinch\, UK\nBeautiful Like Elsewhere – Elise Simard\, Canada\nHangman – Paul Julian and Les Goldman\, U.S.\nThe Battle of San Romano – Georges Schwizgebel\, Switzerland\nGokurosama – Clémentine Frère\, Aurore Gal\, Yukiko Meignien\, Anna Mertz\, Robin Migliorelli\, Romain Salvini\, France\nDear Basketball – Glen Keane\, U.S.\nIsland – Max Mörtl and Robert Löbel\, Germany\nUnsatisfying – Parallel Studio\, France\nMy Burden – Niki Lindroth von Bahr\, Sweden\nLes Abeilles Domestiques (Domestic Bees) Alexanne Desrosiers\, Canada\nOur Wonderful Nature: The Common Chameleon – Tomer Eshed\, Germany\nCasino – Steven Woloshen\, Canada\nEverything – David OReilly\, U.S\n\n\n“Hangman\,” by Paul Julian and Les Goldman\, and based on a poem by MauriceOgden. \nPerhaps themost relevant film in the show is a 50-year-old short that was restored by The ANIMATIONSHOW OF SHOWS with grants from ASIFA-Hollywood and The National Film Preservation Foundation.“Hangman\,” by Paul Julian and Les Goldman\, and based on a poem by MauriceOgden\, explores themes ofinjustice and personal responsibility in its tale of a town whose residents\, afraid to speak up\, aremethodically executed by the title character \nOther program highlights include “Dear Basketball\,” Disney veteran Glen Keane’s animation of a poem byLos Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant\, written on the occasion of his imminent retirement; AcademyAward-winning Pixar director Pete Docter’s 1990 CalArts student film “Next Door”; and “Casino\,” the latestfilm from director StevenWoloshen\, who\, for some 30 years\, has been creating award-winning experimentalfilms by drawing directly on film stock. \n“An exceptional program that starts off strong and only gets better as it goes\, the 19th Annual Animation Show of Shows overflows with charm while containing more provocative observations about the nature of existence than most prestige feature films do.” – John DeFore\, The Hollywood Reporter \nThe 19th ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS represents the work of artists from eight countries\, including nine women.

MDC students must meet FIU’s transfer admission criteria for the catalog year when they first enrolled at MDC. MDC students must successfully complete the Foreign Language Graduation Requirement prior to enrolling at FIU. In addition to meeting FIU’s transfer admission criteria\, students seeking admission to the Lee Caplin School of Journalism & Media\, must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.85. \nFIU will accept major-specific courses completed at MDC to count toward the BS in Digital Communication and Media.
