AAFF is the place to be tonight. You could begin your weekend with "An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt" at 7:00. After seeing new (and maybe one not-so-new) kooky and simple animations by the Academy-award nominated artist, he'll engage a surely curious and lively audience with a Q & A. Meanwhile the Screening Room will be hosting three beautiful shorts inspired by nature for "Mountains and Rivers Without End."
Cartoon fanatics will most likely stick around for the 9:30 program, "The Animated Forest," and at 10:00, "Canyon Cinema Presents" will dive into true cinematic art.
Then you could head on over to The Yellow Barn for "Dark Matter," a party group of three DJs equipped with cosmic jazz, afrobeat, soul, and film scores. Tonight they'll be screening a multi-projector film installation by Ted Kennedy, too.
And I bet you thought that's it for tonight? Nope. Not at all. Go to the State Theater for a midnight showing of The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle, the fake documentary about the Sex Pistols. And if you're keeping the rock n' roll (and rockin' filmmaker) spirit alive, you'll know where to go for the after-afterparty.
