Rooftop Films: Dark Toons May 28, 2010

Our Dark 'Toons program enters into realms of the unconscious often left untapped, encompassing fantasy, tragedy, and romance. While not all these characters are human, the emotions expressed, from pain to aspiration, are the most human we have.

Though the films in this program are certainly "dark" - from fantastical nightmares to criminal horror shows - many also explore our tenderest concerns, including making new friends and bidding farewell to old ones, losing love, entering unknown worlds, and facing our mortality. They may all be somewhat bleak in nature, but the films ultimately ache with hopefulness and desire. We hope you are as moved by these films as we are.
