Cosmic Flower Unfolding
7 JunAnother inspired vision from Ben Ridgway. From description: “Cosmic Flower Unfolding is a constant flow of emerging and dissolving oceanic, futuristic, and mandala forms. It is a tribute to abstraction, its connection to the inner space we inhabit and how it can be externalized.”

Trailer for the 1981 Ralph Bakshi ground breaking animated film American Pop.
The State Of The Art In Living Animation.
“American Pop” is the animated story of a very talented and troubled family starting with 19th century Russia and moving through several generations of musicians.
The film covers American music from the pre-jazz age through soul, ’50s rock, drug-laden psychadelia, and punk, finally ending with the onset of new wave in the early 1980s.
All those years, all those dreams, all those sons… one of them is going to be a star.

Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards
29 May
The film is an allegorical comment on the moral neutrality of technology and the potentially destructive powers of propaganda. Blackwolf’s secret weapon is propaganda, used to incite and motivate his legions and terrorize the good fairy folk of Montagar; Blackwolf also utilizes technology for evil ends. However, in the end, it is Avatar’s willingness to use a technological tool (a handgun pulled from “up his sleeve”) which saves them all. Bakshi also states that Wizards “was about the creation of the state of Israel and the Holocaust, about the Jews looking for a homeland, and about the fact that fascism was on the rise again”.
