Following the success of our July screening of Hertzfeldt’s films, The Little is thrilled to present an encore screening of ME, now paired with his animated sci-fi trilogy World of Tomorrow.
Don Hertzfeldt’s newest animated film ME is a 22-minute musical odyssey about trauma, technology, and the retreat of humanity into itself. Indiewire has described it as “soul-shaking” and “a triumph”.
Following the new short is Hertzfeldt’s animated trilogy World of Tomorrow, in which a little girl is taken on a mind-bending tour of her distant future. The first World of Tomorrow short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and won the Grand Jury Prize for Short Film at the Sundance Film Festival. Of the “dreamy, beloved” series, The Film Stage wrote, “Hertzfeldt has crafted what might be the crowning achievement of modern science fiction.”
Praise for World of Tomorrow:
“One of 2015’s best films… exceedingly brilliant… Bursting with creativity and hilarity, it’s a profoundly affecting piece of work that demands to be seen.” – Jordan Raup, The Film Stage
“A masterpiece… one of the best sci-fi movies in years.” – Chris Plante, The Verge
“The best movie of the year… the rare short film that is treated by many fans as an equal to all other movies released in 2015.” – Christopher Campbell, Film School Rejects
