Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Dodals
Co-presented with Suplex
Saturday, September 12, 10AM
Aurora Members Free with RSVP, Non-Members $10
 
Roll out of bed and start your day right with Aurora! We are pleased to be partnering with Houston-based curatorial group Suplex to bring you a fun-for-all-ages morning of animation shorts by Czech animation pioneers Karel Dodal, Hermina Dodalova, and Irena Dodalova, complete with Czech breakfast bites and an assortment of light refreshments. Inspired by Eva Struskova’s biography “The Dodals”, Suplex will present a select screening of short films that trace the progression of the animator’s work in pre-war Czechoslovakia. Also included in the screening are short films that explore the pioneering spirit of early animation studios. Following the screening, join us for a flipbook activity, where guests color and draw to make their own creativity come alive. All ages are welcome.

Special thanks to Shipley Do-Nuts and Kolache Shoppe for providing breakfast bites and Amaya Roasting Co for the caffeine!
