Portrait Gallery
Real people who became larger than life, captured in all their brilliant and terrible glory. These biographical gems showcase the price of greatness and the cost of genius.
Criterion: Art-House Animation
The endless possibilities of animation are on dazzling display in this round-the-world showcase of some of the medium’s most innovative, boundary-pushing, and mind-enhancing examples. Far from cuddly kid’s stuff, these optical wonders are frequently dark, transgressive, sexually charged, and psychologically complex, using the anything-goes potential of animation to evoke expressionistic inner worlds and transport viewers to realms of the fantastical and the bizarre.
