The 47th AAFF gets a strong dose of Don and his wonderfully warped world of animation on Friday, March 27th at 7pm at An Evening With Don Hertzfeldt. This program features his latest animated and crafted epic I am so proud of you, the follow-up to his acclaimed everything will be ok (which took award honors at the 45th AAFF).
Classics from the Hertzfeldt collection be will seen in their cinematic majesty on 35mm at the historic Michigan Theater, providing an opportunity to fully appreciate Hertzfeldt's craft and meticulous attention to detail. The program concludes with an on stage interview and audience Q & A.
"I am so proud of you" has its regional premiere at Opening Night of the 47th festival, March 24th.
Advance tickets are now on sale (and recommended) for both programs.
Following Hertzfeldt's program, the 47th AAFF explores The Animated Forest, with short frame by frame films in competition on Friday, March 27th at 9:30pm. This program features memorable animations that provide an eye-popping ride across a vast landscape of techniques, styles and storytelling.
