[Frameworks] Kid-friendly films?

[Carl E Bogner]

Dan,

One of the best things I have been able to see this year was the Saturday morning cartoon 16mm program that EYEWORKS presented at Jesse Malmed's LIVE-TO-TAPE FESTIVAL in Chicago this last May.

The program was entitled "Make Me Psychic" and featured films by Sally Cruikshank, Kathy Rose, Trixy Sweetvittles, and Amy Lockhart. Some of the prints -- the Cruikshank and the (sublime) Rose films -- were, I think, from the holdings of Chicago Filmmakers, do I have that right?

I was smacked out on all of the free breakfast cereals provided and am old, but I thought it was all a delight, giddy and transcendent, of possible interest to your programming. Psychedelic/trippy presented, understood, as also kid-friendly?

 Jan Svankmajer - Alice 1988.  maybe more of an adult friendly children's film though my daughter when 5, watched it over and over (though now 28 and in retrospect wonders whether it was suitable)

Much from Mary Ellen Bute could be considered very kid friendly.

And one of my favorites is Bruno Bozzetto's film "Allegro Non Troppo." It is rousing and inspiring, with magical animation.

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for avant-garde films that go over well with kids (12 and up). I'm not very good with censorship and always forget that there is something  "inappropriate" with most of my favorite movies... even just a good PG narrative is hard to find..

So far my go-to is usually "Neighbours" by McLaren, and "Dr. Strangelove" for a good narrative that won't get me in trouble..

thanks!
