Screwball Screenings Presents Animation Abominations

Screwball Screenings is a film series that highlights oddball movies and pairs them with work from the minds of local Philly artists. We’re back baby and this time it’s ANIMATION ABOMINATIONS. These are the seedy, sleazy & surrealist animations your mother warned you about. We’re spotlighting filmmaker and animator Julia Cooke, along with some of the most oddball animations we could get our hands on. Brought to you by brains that were poisoned at a young age by 90’s & early 2000’s cartoons.

Julia Cooke is a filmmaker and artist from Baltimore, Maryland who specializes in animation, film, painting, and digital photography. She is completely self-taught, giving her art a unique, authentic attribute. She founded and hosts her own film festival, and runs a DIY concert venue, where many of her paintings and animations are showcased.

Cinema Ray presents Heavy Metal

Cinema Ray presents the 1981 dark erotic fantasy/horror animation, Heavy Metal.

“Adventures from deep space to futuristic New York, and beyond. Each world and story is dominated by the presence of the Loch’nar — the sum of all evils manifest as a glowing green sphere whose power infects all times, all galaxies, all dimensions. To some, it appears as treasure, a green jewel they must possess. Others worship it as a god. Few escape it. Even in death and through death its powers continue. From war to war and world to world it seems invincible.”

Be sure to get there early for entry into a drawing for some cool prizes.  Seating is limited!
