ASIFA & MOMA
On Sunday ASIFA East
The annual ASIFA-East Festival awards and party will take place at the New School.
A lot of filmmakers will be awarded prizes and their films will be shown starting (dare I say) punctually at 6PM.
It’s the annual program of the best 2007 animated films (commercials, sponsored, student and independent films) as judged by our democratic list of judges (all the members who wanted to vote.)
Following the films and awards ceremony there will be the usual party (wine and cheese) and big schmooze. As always, it promises to be fun.
(Tape The Sopranos, and come.)
It’s FREE as usual.
Sunday, May 6th, 6 pm
The New School, Tishman Auditorium
66 West 12th street
On Monday at MOMA
- An Evening with Andreas Hykade (Germany) and Mariusz Wilczynski (Poland) will be celebrated at the Museum of Modern Art on Monday, May 7th at 8PM.
For this special program Andreas Hykade introduces his trilogy of “country films,” which have won top prizes at the prestigious Hiroshima and Ottawa animation festivals: the mythic We Lived in Grass (1995), the raunchy, honky-tonk Ring of Fire (2000), and the trilogy’s disturbing coda, The Runt (2006).
Mariusz Wilczynski presents a range of work from the Chaplinesque Times Have Passed (1998) to Unfortunately (2004), a twilight journey set to a haunting score by Polish jazz trumpeter Tomasz Stanko. The artist describes his newest work, Kizi Mizi (2007), as “a tough love story between a cat and a mouse…a film about loneliness, betrayal, and revenge.”
The program is presented in conjunction with Goethe-Institut New York and the Polish Cultural Institute.
