The 2013 Northwest Animation Festival
It's May! The leaves are out, the sun is shining! Let's go inside and watch cartoons!
Did I say "cartoons"? I meant "animation," of course. The Northwest Animation Festival is now in its third year, and is bringing a copious -- copious! -- volume of funny, provocative, moving, beautiful, and/or startling animation to the City of Roses. Specifically, to the Hollywood Theater, where there are afternoon and evening programs May 17-19.
Having watched EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of EVERY SINGLE FILM last year, I really can not recommend this thing highly enough. The varieties of technique, narrative style, and mood available under the umbrella of "animation" is just dazzling. I suggest you out-of-towners see if you can find some cheap airfare. We'll put you up at the Castle, or something.

Now, last year I rather rashly offered to buy a big bag of candy for anyone who found me at the Festival and identified themself as an IAT reader. I had the candy all ready, but no one came forward. This led to an unfortunate overdose on "Reese's Pieces" which I do not wish to revisit. No special offers this year. The festival will be its own reward. Promise!
