This week we have two back-to-back
chances to see locally made short films and animation. Eggwork Productions
(headed by Rochester filmmaker and City contributor Matt Ehlers) presents its fourth annual Eggmark night on Sunday, June 20. Not only will Ehlers screen his
hysterical, too-short Who’s Your Daddy,
a pick at both the Sundance and SXSW film festivals, but also his latest, Hole in the Wall. Animatus Studio will
give their lascivious, lap-dancing duo, Su and Mo, some room to gyrate when
they screen Su & Mo:Lost in Animation. The Lazy Assassin, Finding
Hermann, Sharks In The Water, and
other shorts will all be shown on June 20 at Montage Grille, 50 Chestnut
Street, at 7 p.m. Donations accepted. www.eggwork.com.
The
following night, see a crop of New York State shorts at the latest installment
of the Emerging Filmmakers Series.
The evening will include a 30-minute film by Dawn Zuppelli (co-founder of
Rochester Indymedia) called feel the
Spearit, a documentary about musician Michael Franti. The other Rochester
film is particle valentine by
RIT-student Christine Dunn. The Emerging Filmmakers Series is shown on Monday,
June 21, at Little Theatres, 240 East Avenue, at 9:30 p.m. Tix: $5. 258-0444,
