Program Notes
This program is comprised of a selection of shorts from the 2018 Black Maria Animation Program. Since 1981, the Black Maria Film Festival has been celebrating and preserving the diversity, invention, and vitality of the short film. The Festival’s home is New Jersey City University in Jersey City, NJ and is named after Thomas Edison’s original West Orange film studio dubbed the “Black Maria” because of its resemblance to the black-box police paddy wagons of the same name.
Sweaty Eyeballs Animation is curated by Phil Davis (Towson University). For more information visit sweatyeyeballs.com
