He spends his days reliving old glories and smoking too much weed with his former-co-star-turned-dealer, Jeremy, until a surprise cancer diagnosis brings his priorities into sharp focus. He soon strikes up an exciting, contentious relationship with stand-up comic Charlotte, and he attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Lucy, all while search- ing for one final role to cement his legacy. Directed by Brett Haley, who brought us the 2015 Nashville Film Festival hit, I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS. OPENING NIGHT SPOTLIGHT. Spotlights May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers Directed by: Judd Apatow | Michael Bonfiglio Cast: Scott Avett | Seth Avett | Bob Crawford | Joe Kwon | Paul DeFiglia | Mike Marsh Nation: USA, Runtime: 107 Saturday, April 22, 9:30 PM A portrait of the acclaimed band, the Avett Brothers, as they create their hit album ‘True Sadness.’ Filmed with extraordinary access over the course of more than two years, MAY IT LAST charts the band’s decade-and-a-half rise while chronicling their present-day collaboration with famed producer Rick Rubin. With the recording process as a backdrop, the film intimately depicts a lifelong bond and unique creative partnership, as the band weathers marriage, divorce, parenthood, illness, and the challenges of the music business. More than just a music documentary, MAY IT LAST is a meditation on family, love, and the passage of time. CENTERPIECE SPOTLIGHT. Patti Cake$ Directed by: Geremy Jasper Written by: Geremy Jasper Cast: Danielle MacDonald | Bridget Everett | Siddharth Dhananjay | Mamoudou Athie | Cathy Moriarty Nation: USA, Runtime: 108 Saturday, April 29, 7:00 PM Patricia Dombrowski (aka “Killa P”, aka “Patti Cake$”) drafts rhymes behind the bar at a dingy New Jersey dive bar, trying to pay off her coarse but beloved Nana’s medical bills and support her hard-drinking mom, whose own musical aspirations faded long ago. Patti and her rap partner and best friend Jheri share dreams of fame, fortune, and escaping Dirty Jersey for good, but they haven’t found a producer with the “fire beats” they need. Unbroken by the taunts of local goons, Patti unexpectedly gravitates to a reclusive death-metal musician named Basterd Antichrist, a newcomer who just might be able to help Patti achieve hip-hop superstardom. CLOSING NIGHT SPOTLIGHT. 11 Brave New Jersey Directed by: Jody Lambert Written by: Michael Dowling | Jody Lambert Cast: Tony Hale | Heather Burns | Anna Camp | Dan Bakkedahl | Sam Jaeger | Raymond J. Barry Nation: USA, Runtime: 86 Sunday, April 23, 5:30 PM A comedy about a small, New Jersey town on the night of Orson Welles’s legendary, 1938 “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast -- the hoax that terrified millions into believing Martians were invading America. As the citizens of Lullaby, NJ are faced with what they think is their last night on Earth, their lives will change forever. The lonely mayor, the timid housewife, the innocent schoolteacher, the worn-down reverend, the cocky entrepreneur, the cowardly sheriff and the reclusive war veteran will all be put to the test over the course of one unpredictable and explosive evening. It’s an alien invasion movie where the aliens never show up. Dog Years Directed by: Adam Rifkin Written by: Adam Rifkin Cast: Ariel Winter| Burt Reynolds | Chevy Chase | Clark Duke | Ellar Coltrane | Juston Street Nation: USA, Runtime: 96 Friday, April 28, 7:30 PM Vic Edwards is an aging, former movie star who is forced to face the reality that his glory days are far behind him. He reluctantly flies to Nashville to be presented with what he thinks is a prestigious Award from a revered film festival. Upon arrival Vic is humiliated to discover that the low-rent event can hardly be called a film festival. It’s merely a bunch of star-struck film geeks who show movies in the back room of the bar where they all work. Enraged, Vic forces Lil, the emotionally unstable girl assigned to be his driver, to take him to Knoxville, the town where he grew up, where he embarks of on a soul searching tour of the landmarks of his youth. The Exception Directed by: David Leveaux Written by: Simon Burke Cast: Christopher Plummer | Jai Courtney | Lily James | Janet McTeer | Eddie Marsan | Ben Daniels Nation: United Kingdom, Runtime: 107 Thursday, April 27, 7:00 PM German soldier Stefan Brandt is sent on a mission to investigate exiled German Monarch Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser lives in a secluded mansion in The Netherlands, and as Germany is taking over Holland, the country’s authorities are concerned that Dutch spies may be watching the Kaiser. As Brandt begins to infiltrate the Kaiser’s life in search of clues, he finds himself drawn into an unexpected and passionate romance with Mieke, one of the Kaiser’s maids whom Brandt soon discovers is secretly Jewish. When Heinrich Himmler, Head of the SS, decides to come for an unexpected visit with a large platoon of Nazis in tow, Brandt is forced to make the ultimate choice between honoring his country and following his heart. 12 Folk Hero & Funny Guy Directed by: Jeff Grace Written by: Jeff Grace Cast: Alex Karpovsky | Wyatt Russell | Meredith Hagner | Melanie Lynskey | Hannah Simone | Michael Ian Black Nation: USA, Runtime: 88 Friday, April 21, 9:00 PM Paul and Jason are old friends who have gone their separate ways chasing their dreams as they reach their 30s.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

And when Nathan is taken under the wing of unconventional and anarchic teacher, Mr. Humphreys (Rafe Spall), the pair forge an unusual friendship.
