What better way to celebrate the longest running art house in the city, than with a renovation, followed by its very own film festival! The celebratory 10-day festival is in the tradition of theater anniversary weeks that were popular in the 1920s and 30s and featured special screenings, guests, and giveaways.

 Sally Cruikshank’s classic Quasi at the Quackadero (1975) is one of the most widely circulated independent animated shorts in the history of the medium, earning it a well-deserved spot on the National Film Registry. Tapping into some of the same uneasy and hysterical energy that Collins also mined, Cruikshank’s films often explore a fascination with the mayhem and imagination of classic studio animation from the early 1930s, transporting that energy to a contemporary context in which the surrealism and character tropes take on a complex significance and satirical humor.
