Thursday, September 9 , 7-10 PM
MCASD Downtown, Jacobs Building
Part cinematic funhouse, part film festival, the eighth annual alt.pictureshows returns in force as San Diego’s premier short-film showcase. This year, MCASD is collaborating with the newly opened San Diego State University Downtown Gallery to present a new lineup of engaging and innovative short films from around the world. During this popular, one-night-only event, portions of MCASD and SDSU’s Downtown Gallery—located on Kettner and Broadway—will be transformed into the ultimate micro-cinema where viewers are encouraged to “physically channel surf” from room to room as a selection of shorts screen on loop throughout the night.
alt.pictureshows redefines the movie-going experience, allowing viewers to be in control of what films they choose to watch and when they watch them. This year’s lineup features original, live-action shorts by filmmakers such as Sara Colangelo (“Little Accident”s), Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck and Robert Machoian (“Charlie and the Rabbit”), Martin Stitt (“Family Jewels”); as well as quirky, eye-catching animated shorts by Jeff Drew (“One Square Mile of Earth”), Bastien Dubois (“Madagascar, A Journey Diary”), and many other outstanding artists. Please note that many of the program’s short films contain adult content and are not rated.
