Tux and Fanny - directed by Albert Birney
Free animated feature, outdoor screening!

Current Space Garden Bar

421 N. Howard St. Baltimore, MD 21201
​

Come check out "Tux & Fanny" by Baltimore director Albert Birney after watching the sequel "Eyeballs in the Darkness" at 9:00pm at the Charles Theatre. What started as an episodic series on instagram grew into a lo-fi adventure of two friends on an epic quest. With a charming mix of pixelated animation reminiscent of MS Paint, stop motion, and hand drawn animation you are bound to love this pink and purple duo as they play soccer, speak in Russian, bird watch, and float down a river on a piano.

Saturday, October 7, 9pm - Midnight
​

Current Space Garden Bar
421 N. Howard St. Baltimore, MD 21201

Come check out animation loops by students from Maryland Institute College of Art, Towson University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Anne Arundel Community College and more. Animations start looping at 9pm on the Current Space Garden Bar screen while a DJ plays music to get you dancing like a 1930's Fleischer Studio cartoon!
