EC Gallery will have 80 original animation cels works of art in their "Vintage Animation Show." The show will feature a gallery of animated original cels that were used to create all the iconic cartoons from Disney to Hannah Barbara through Warner Bros. Because the cels are where it all started, it is a cool off-site Con activation spot. Cel animation was a dominant animation technique, particularly in the 20th century, before the rise of computer animation. Cel art is extremely popular and highly sought after by collectors. All the cels are pretty fun and interesting but one of the cels they will have is from Snow White which is the first animated full-length movie created from cels. It even won an honorary Academy Award (an Oscar) in 1939 for its significance as a pioneering work in animated film. They even made Walt a special Oscar with one full-sized Oscar and seven miniature ones. EC Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

"If you close your eyes, you might wake up inside the movie, unstuck from time yourself." — New York Times A ghostly train journey on a forgotten branch line transports a son, Jozef, visiting his dying Father in a remote Galician Sanatorium. Upon arrival, Jozef finds the Sanatorium entirely moribund and run by a dubious Doctor Gotard, who tells him that his father’s death, the death that has struck him in his country, has not yet occurred and that here they are always late by a certain interval of time of which the length cannot be defined. Jozef will come to realize that the Sanatorium is a floating world halfway between sleep and wakefulness and that time and events cannot be measured in any tangible form. A stop-motion/live-action masterpiece inspired by the works of Jewish-Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz, this personal passion project is the first feature by the Brothers Quay since "The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes" (2005) nearly 20 years ago.
