Tonight we'll be screening two surreal obscurities from our archive - to depart we'll begin with Raggedy Ann and Andy - A Musical Adventure; one of the least known animations from the 1970's, and most likely for a reason. It's absolutely terrifying, yet one of the most beautiful animations from this time period. Director Richard Williams created an emotional interpretation of a classic children's story -for those who have witnessed it call the experience, psychedelic; with musical numbers that will continue to haunt your dreams for the years to follow.
Our second feature of the night is Démanty noci (Diamonds of the Night) by Jan Němec. A hypnotizing filmic treasure. Although such a tale of disparity didn't exactly start with the film itself. Arnošt Lustig's Children of the Holocaust series, Darkness Casts No Shadow, was the publication which inspired Jan Němec’s cinematic debut. Démanty noci, an unapologetic and lyrical film which redefined storytelling methodologies, was released in 1964. Deemed an “artificial documentary” by a handful of critics, the story depicts hyper-realistic imagery of the brutal struggles shared between two young men —whom escape a Nazi prison train; one which was transporting them to their next concentration camp.
