Aggregate Animated Shorts

First Annual Film Festival

21 July – 5 August 2017

In our ongoing effort to present unique and challenging art experiences to the public, Aggregate Space Gallery is proud to launch this celebration of non-commercial and experimental animation. Animation, as subset within video art, is unique in its versatility as a communicative form and its ability to place viewers inside adjacent realities. It is a medium without rules or restrictions, and its content can address ideas as simple or as complex as the animator intends.

The exhibition will culminate in an award ceremony held at The Little Roxie Theater in San Francisco, hosted by artist, animator, and Congratulations Pine Tree podcast co-host, Kate Rhoades. We will be screening the top 2 films and an honorable mention, as well as a viewers choice awards from each category. Viewers Choice categories will be rated by visitors to the gallery, so come by and judge these films! The event will also include a film by each of our exhibition jurors: Alyssa Lempesis, Christoph Steger, Leila Weefur, and Doug Garth Williams.
