Nov. 10 at 8pm – Crackpot Crafters: “LocaLoops”

Tickets 🎟

Expanded Cinema Performance with Live Sound
Takes place at LoveCityLove (1406 E. Pike St., two blocks from NWFF)

On Saturday night, we’ll interact with the LocaLoops craziness from the Olympia-based filmmaking collective Crackpot Crafters. Emerging from the ground unpredictably like mushrooms from mycelium, LocaLoops is an immersive manifestation of Crackpot Crafters’ direct animation gang. It’s a weird, wonderful, subversive, DIY, technologically dumpster-diving genre of cavemanic filmmaking presented via multiple projectors, using screens adapted from many materials and live sound accompaniment. Join us for this eye-popping event!
