The 22nd Annual Animation Show of Shows
Saturday, April 1, 2023
After a two-year hiatus, the ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS returns to theaters. This 22nd edition comprises 10 films which deal with both the anxieties and hopes of a world faced with a seemingly endless series of existential crises. All are inventive, their tone ranges from the whimsical to the profound; their techniques, from stop-motion to hand-drawn to computer- aided. Nine new films come from Europe, Asia, and North America. The program culminates with a striking restored 4K digital remaster by the Academy Film Archive of Frederic Back's classic 1987 Oscar-winner, "The Man Who Planted Trees."
