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.
