CARTOON NOIR comes to LA. This multi-technique film is a feature-length

monogamy, meat eating and the daily pattern of human brutality; ALTAIR,
Lewis Klahr's collagist elegy on New York nightlife; CLUB OF THE DISCARDED,
Jiri Barta's tale of a family of discarded mannequins who enjoy a quiet
life in an abandoned warehouse until a group of hipster mannequins move in
and spoil the neighborhood; GENTLE SPIRIT, Piotr Dumala's
Dostoyevsky-inspired story of the psychological landscape between a young
lady and an ominous male figure; JOY STREET, Suzan Pitt's story of a woman
who journeys from suicidal despair to personal renewal with the help of an
unlikely spirit guide; and THE STORY OF THE CAT AND THE MOON, Pedro
Serrazina's mini-classic of the fatalistically unrequited love as a cat
ceaselessly seeks the moon. The film will play at Landmarks' Nuart Theatre
