Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Dodals

Aurora Picture Show and Houston-based curatorial group Suplex are pleased to present a fun-for-all-ages Saturday morning of animation shorts by Czech animation pioneers The Dodals – Karel Dodal, Hermina Dodalova, and Irena Dodalova.  September 12, 10am.

Inspired by Eva Struskova’s biography The Dodals, Suplex will present a select screening of short films that trace the progression of the animators’ work in pre-war Czechoslovakia, complete with Czech breakfast bites and an assortment of light refreshments.

Also included in the screening are short films that explore the pioneering spirit of early animation studios.

Following the screening, join us for a flipbook activity designed by artist John Forse, where guests color and draw to make their own creativity come alive.

All ages are welcome. Roll out of bed and start your day right with Aurora!

This event is presented in partnership with Aurora Picture Show and the National Film Archive of Prague.

Thank you to our incredible sponsors: Kolache Shoppe, Amaya Roasting Company, and Shipley Donuts.
