Description of Pictures: An Evening with Animator BILL PLYMPTON
Two Washington, D.C. Premieres*
Animator, cartoonist and illustrator Bill Plympton is known as “the king of indie animation.” His award-winning short films have highlighted many film festivals and he is the only person to hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has received Oscar nominations for an early animation, Your Face, in 1988 and for Guard Dog in 2005, while his short film, Push Comes to Shove, won the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1991. In this special evening, Plympton presents two new animations, Summer Bummer and a restoration of the 1921 The Flying House, as well as a sneak peek at an upcoming project. He also screens a selection of his classic shorts and discusses his oblique, off-beat style.

THE COW WHO WANTED TO BE A HAMBURGER (USA, 2010, 6 min.) This children’s fable is about the power of advertising, the meaning of life and ultimately the test of a mother’s love. It’s the story of a young cow, mes ...More...
