UPA is to animation what the Bauhaus is to design

This is the big one folks, don`t miss it!



This Sunday at the Egyptian Theatre the big ASIFA-Hollywood / American Cinematheque UPA Tribute The fun begins at 6pm when we will be screening 35mm prints of rare commercials, industrials, TV productions, behind the scenes footage and Scope prints of classic theatrical cartoons (including ROOTY TOOT TOOT and TELL TALE HEART). We will have panels featuring UPA veterans (Bill Melendez, Willis Pyle, Alan Zaslove, Fred Crippen, Sam Clayberger) and guest animators (Mark Kausler, Pixar's Lou Romano). ASIFA members will recieve a discount on admission. Advance tickets are on sale at the box office now. See you there!

Prior to the screening, there will be a private reception at the Egyptian Theatre from 4:30-5:30.
