Animated shorts featured in Tuesday’s free film
Posted by Linda Fulps
The next offering in the Spring 2011 Free Film Festival will be Nine Nation Animation, which is scheduled to be shown at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, in Leach Theatre. The film is free and open to the public.
This 2010 film is rated PG-13 and is a compilation of new animated featurettes, including a Chinese monk who sets out on foot with a tiger during the Tang dynasty and happens upon the giant Buddhas of Bamiyan; two blue-collar workers dissect the meaning of a “normal” life, as the world crumbles around them; a box of matches succumbs to the appeal of a cigarette; and four people recount various encounters with an unforgettable rite of passage.
