Peculiar Puppets Volume XIII – 90 min.
Roxy Cinema hereby presents our 13th ‘Peculiar Puppets’ retrospective of forgotten vintage short films featuring hand puppets, ventriloquist dolls, marionettes, and stop motion creatures—all filmed in the 1930s through the 1970s. This peculiar potpourri of unnamed surprises is programmed by early animation archivist and historian Tommy José Stathes, and prints are hand-selected from his personal 16mm film archive. Warning: You may find some of the offerings to be rather unsettling, and possibly even creepy! 90-minute film presentation includes an intermission.
