Night Falls
Various directors, USA, 2021, 88 min
May 12 - 18
Shadows envelop this program, which features surreal tales of haunted houses, insomniac
hallucinations, nefarious corporations, and menacing creatures through animation, processed video, and 16mm film.
Mr. Lamp is a cartoon animator recently invited into the executive branch of a major animation studio. Upon receiving the first pitch for the new narrative, Mr. Lamp is disturbed by the corrosive material the animated studio brand has developed. The executives discuss how they can make “a girl think she is independent”, change her perspective of “what a man ought to be”, and make her aspire for something “impossibly unattainable” all for one sinister purpose. When Mr. Lamp voices his concerns over the potentially negative effects on girl audiences, he is left with a disturbing offer in order he may continue making his untainted brand of storytelling.
