The Animation Block Party returns to Brooklyn to draw in newcomers and connoisseurs. On Friday, Rooftop Films opens the fest with shorts by Bill Plympton and past audience-pleaser Ben Meinhardt — plus a string of animated nods to Bruce Lee, Craig T. Nelson, and the Ocean's 12 clique. Come Saturday and Sunday, BAMCinématek becomes a mecca with four standout programs: the first caters to experimental tastes, while the student-prevalent second is decidedly lighter, with tales of an existential juice box and an exploration of the word "butterface;" the inimitable Don Hertzfeldt anchors a third program that includes Douchey the Douchebag expounding on the risks of J-walking; and discovery — whether it be Amelica, land of bears, or a lost mother — is rife in the closing lineup.
