Cawwlling Awwl Lawwng Islanders

Tonight at Huntington's Cinema Arts Centre (centre vs center: classier), Nina Paley--America's best-loved unknown cartoonist-- will be showing some of her work. For those of you who live elsewhere, like I do, it's a wonderful excuse to visit the island. The long one. Think: field trip.

Celebrate the Day After Valentine's Day with a work-in-progress screening of the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told: Sita Sings the Blues! This will be the most extensive show of the work-in-progress yet, featuring ELEVEN musical episodes (10 Hanshaw songs plus a new ditty by Rohan) and the first-ever public screening of the latest chapter, Agni Pariksha. Plus, chapter 4 - Battle of Lanka - will be on glorious, colorful, dazzling 35mm FILM! But hold onto your hats - we'll also be showing Fetch! and Pandorama on 35mm, and The Stork and some other goodies. I'll be there in person, answering questions and babbling away. ~Nina
