Mary and Max -
Sat. Nov. 21, 7pm
East
Coast Debut
Adam Elliot,
80 min.
Mary and Max
is unique. A claymation animation tells the simple story of a 20-year pen-pal friendship
between two very different people: Mary Dinkle, a
chubby, lonely 8-year-old girl living in the suburbs of
Melbourne, and Max Horowitz, a 44-year-old Jewish man,
who is severely obese, suffers from Asperger’s syndrome,
and lives an isolated life in New York City.
The originality of the voices in this
ever-spinning kaleidoscope of innocence and idiosyncrasy
comes straight from an incredibly rich imagination and
complete artistic vision.
CAST Toni Collette, Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Barry Humphries, Eric Bana.
Recomm. for ages 17 to adult. $5

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Sun, Nov. 22, 4pm
Director: Mamoru Hosoda
Tokyo teenager Mokoto Konno prefers to
play baseball with the boys than gossip with the other
girls. Stuck in a midpoint between child and adult and
with graduation approaching, she's not too sure of what
she'd like to do with the rest of her life—that is,
until a mysterious accident in the science lab gives
Mokoto the ability to leap (literally) back in time.
Once she recognizes the life-changing potential of her
newfound power, Mokoto's life becomes increasingly
chaotic..
More than just a visually stunning anime
adventure, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a
metaphorical tale of teenage angst: Mokoto's manic
time-leaping reflects her deeper fear of growing up—a
denial of creeping adulthood, of uncomfortable romantic
feelings, uncertainty about her future, and a growing
nostalgia for her simple high school life circumscribed
by the baseball diamond and her two best friends. Ages 10 and older.

SITA SINGS THE BLUES
Nina Paley, USA,
82 minutes
Tragedy, comedy and musical collide in this gloriously
animated film from Nina Paley. Sita is a goddess
separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina
is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps
her by email. Three bickering shadow puppets with Indian
accents act as comic narrators as these old and new
stories are interwoven in a post-modern retelling of the
ancient Indian epic, Ramayana, animated in a
dazzling mix of traditional and collage animation style,
and backed by a soundtrack from legendary 1920's jazz
singer Annette Hanshaw. $5 Recommended for
ages 9 to adult.
