“I love that early [1928] era of Mickey — it’s how I learned to animate, back in the day [directing The Simpsons and King of the Hill] and it’s my favorite era of animation, and that Mickey, in particular, is this young, fresh, underdog.”

    JOY STREET

    SUZAN PITT United States, 1995

    Seductively moody with lachrymal watercolors and slow jazz, Suzan Pitt’s atmospheric short begins in a noirish realm of downcast introspection. Once the melancholic fog lifts, bright and looping jungle imagery flourishes, inspired by the filmmaker’s own joyful adventures in Guatemala and Mexico.
