"Cartune Xprez" is a curated program of experimental animations and performances from across the United States and Canada. This event converges hyper-color flash graphics, hand drawn stories, newspaper cut-outs, photo animations, and more. Prehistoric quadrupeds battle ennui, suicidal protagonists stumble through pixelated video game landscapes, the Sunday New York Times re-animates headline narratives, action/adventure hits new highs on a chalkboard--as all these artists grapple with their over-the-counter media of choice. Animators include Paper Rad, Martha Colburn, Amy Lockhart, Takeshi Murata, Francine Spiegel, Luke Negrey, Andrew Meeken, Jim Trainor, James Duesing, Drew Pavelchak, Michael Bell Smith, Philippe Blanchard, Cassandra C. Jones, Gretchen Hogue and Hooliganship. Performers include Slow Dance Recyttal and Hooliganship.
