Holiday film screening at Brighton gallery

By Maria Seda-Reeder for CityBeat

As part of their monthly experimental film program, "Staring Eyes," Third Party Gallery in Brighton presents a seasonal screening of holiday-related animated films “you most certainly can’t Tivo.” This month, the gallery will present films by artist-animators such as Alison Schulnik, whose work you might recognize from the Bjork film featured in the CAC’s recent exhibition, Spectacle; Peter Millard, whose film Hogan received special mention at the London Short Film Festival; or Atsushi Wada, who recently screened his film The Mechanism of Spring at the Venice Film Festival.

And although this collection of animators won’t be playing any of your typical holiday fare, the good folks at Third Party will provide filmgoers with eggnog, popcorn and hot chocolate to help get you in the holiday spirit. 8 p.m. Free. thirdpartygallery.com.
