The award-winning independent animator Phil Mulloy has been successfully subverting impressionable minds for almost twenty years, lampooning organized religion, racism and politics. He will be present at the screenings of his work and will hold a Q&A at one of this screening as well. His films hold up a fun house mirror to mankind's darkest desires, making the audience laugh as well as squirm in their seats.
