OC is honored to host the NorCal premiere of animator Helen Hills' last film, "The Florestine Collection," the piece she was working on at the time of her death. Helen was of course much loved in the film community for her ingenious and generous DIY aesthetic, advanced in her legendary book "Recipes For Disaster." With friends like Alfonso Alvarez(in person), Helen's husband Paul Gailiunas was able to usher the half-hr work to completion. ALSO a whole bouquet of other (mostly new) animation, including Jeremy Rourke in person singing and playing guitar to his own shorts! PLUS Martha Colburn's "Anti-Fracking;" Kelly Sears' "Cover Me, Alpha;" Jim Trainor's "The Bats;" and Janie Geiser's "Lost Motion." Come early for our season-opening reception with Jeremy's singing Bowls, the Dream Machine, and free sangria!
