Rush Process: Festival of Handcrafted Animation

Aurora Picture Show presents Rush Process: Festival of Handcrafted Animation, Friday and Saturday, August 26 & 27.

Rush Process celebrates DIY, handcrafted animation as a vehicle for self-expression.

Organized by Houston filmmaker Dave Merson Hess, the festival brings a diverse selection of stunning, new, non-digital animated works that touch upon a range of genres and techniques–including documentary, narrative, stop-motion, paper cut-out, direct animation and others.

Competition films were selected by artist jurors Jennifer Levonian of OOF Collective; Sundance Jury Prize-winning stop-motion animator Adam Parrish King; Ash and Bryan Kramer of Drifter Pictures, and handcrafted animation powerhouse Kelly Gallagher.

Special thanks to DZED Systems LLC and Fandor for their support in providing prizes.
