Description

Popcorn Frights Film Festival celebrates the South Florida Premiere of "Cryptozoo" on Saturday, August 14 at 3pm. With echoes of Fantastic Planet and Yellow Submarine, this richly-drawn hallucinatory animated thriller features extraordinary kaleidoscopic images and unfolds in a fantastical kind of dream logic. Starring the voice talents of Lake Bell, Zoe Kazan, Michael Cera, Peter Stormare, Thomas Jay Ryan, and Grace Zabriskie, the story innocently begins with a couple romping in the woods, seeking intimacy and a good high. When they inadvertently stumble on a park of fantasy creatures — dragons, griffins, winged horses and unicorns abound — the two lovers discover a refuge for these endangered and misunderstood mythical creatures hailing from the folklores and legends of a hundred different cultures that the wider world either does not believe in, fears, or wants to exploit. A hypnotically trippy vision, CRYPTOZOO’s animation is both gorgeously vivid and astonishingly fluid, swirling together a panoply of styles, from watercolor to marker scratches, as it literalizes imagination through animation. This vibrant and wondrous animated feature for adults will take you on a sublime journey that explores the complex relationship between idealism, utopian visions, the call to duty, and the alluring power of controlling dreams. Popcorn Frights Film Festival is South Florida's first and only horror film festival celebrating the best genre films from around the world.
