Following Cinematheque’s December 12 screening of Circumstantial Pleasures (2020) at The Lab, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Lewis Klahr will join us to present an evening of eight animated films—recently completed and in-progress—created 2020—2024. Notable, perhaps, for their genre hopping, none of these films have screened in the Bay area and most have yet to screen before an audience. Klahr has curated this “preview” program to test the effectiveness of various sequences and combinations. All of the included films are from Klahr’s ongoing, multipart series From 45 to 33 whose first completed section, The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness, had a memorable screening at Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive in September.
