The travelling roadshow of animated videos and multimedia performances known as Cartune Xprez comes to the Cinefamily for an orgy of hypercolored retina-roasting antics. This program of experimental cartoons and live video theater is shaped around a maximum diversity of animated forms, and, using popular media as touchstones for their perspectives, each artist guides us through an inverted fantasy of isolation in this weird digital world, making your synapses sizzle with their stratospheric levels of conceptual awesomeness. The night's works provide a rare opportunity to see videos by emerging artists, as well as those of internationally-known creators whose collective resume includes the Whitney Biennial, MOMA, and Sundance. Topping off the evening's screenings is a live performance by Hooliganship, the "cell phone grunge group" (weloveyouso.com) that blends animation and electo-rock sounds into an elaborate pulsating poke to the cerebellum -- and did we mention costume changes?!
