Flying cows, mysterious gods and lyrical pandemonium: Don Hertzfeldt has made Animation Mixtape just for you. The dazzling 85-minute program features exciting animated shorts from up and coming filmmakers, Academy Award nominees and classic pieces that originally inspired Don to start making his own iconic work. Including a new animated introduction from Don and never before seen work from famed underground animator Bruce Bickford.

About the filmmaker: 

Don Hertzfeldt is an American animator, writer, and filmmaker known for his independent animated films like World of Tomorrow, It’s Such a Beautiful Day, and Rejected. He’s a two-time Academy Award nominee and has won numerous awards, including the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize for Short Film twice, a feat no other filmmaker has achieved. Hertzfeldt’s work is characterized by its unique minimalist aesthetic, often using hand-drawn, squiggly line drawings, and exploring themes of existentialism, philosophy, and humor.
