• Everything Will Be OK - Don Hertzfeldt
  Winner of the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film. A series of dark events forces a man to reckon with the meaning of life — or lack thereof.

The special effects were meticulously created in-camera via traditional double exposures and trick photography techniques. 2006; 17 min. Back by popular demand!

  Esteemed as one of the best American short films ever made, Frank Film is a collection of 11,592 collages sequenced to illustrate the chronology of the filmmaker’s life. Spanning the years 1945-1973, this Academy Award-winning, wildly entertaining short film goes beyond the story of one man’s existence to become a collective autobiography of its time. 1973; 10 min.
• Rabbit’s Moon – Kenneth Anger
  A step-printed fable of an unattainable dream, combining elements of Commedia dell’Arte with Japanese myth. The classic pantomime figure of Pierrot encounters an enchanted Magick Lantern, Harlequin, and Columbine and enacts his unrequited longings. 1978, 7 min.
• N.Y., N.Y. – Francis Thompson

• Spacey – Takashi Ito
  An amazing experimental animated short. Ito took a series of still photographs by setting up his cameras incrementally in a circle. He then took photos of those photos mounted on stands in the same gymnasium. He then photographed these onto film in stop motion. The striking visual effect gives the viewer the sensation of flying into infinitude. 1981; 10 min.Special Admission Price: $10=General Admission /$9=Students/Seniors/$8=Rutgers Film Co-op/NJMAC Friends!
