911 is delighted to present some very interesting and rare content to compliment the Animator's Social. The European Underground, an International touring program, will be presenting the work of Bulgarian Animator Radostina Neykova and Moldovian Animator Valeria Kurtru. Some of the evenings work was produced during the height of the cold war in Soviet Union state run animation studios and has never been shown in the United States! Animator's Social is always also an open screening. Please bring your animation on VHS.

Alec Carlin has written ten screenplays for Hollywood. Five have been optioned and one has been made. He has an agent in L.A. He's taken meetings, he's had lunches. He's been asked to add a few more explosions in the second act. This wasn't always the case. A few years ago he was an idealistic filmmaker making his own short movies on the streets of Seattle. In this program he will show three of those shorts and the trailer to the Hollywood movie he wrote. Following the program there will be a Q and A session about making the jump from Shorts to Hollywood. From artistic control to out of control.
Has Alec sold out? Is he still an idealistic filmmaker, albeit an older one? "Absolutely," he replies, &nqot;although I prefer to be called a passionate filmmaker now, 'passionate' is very big in Hollywood right now."
