Description

Going on three decades, Suzan Pitt has been an internationally renowned creator of beautiful, strange and fiercely original animation. Collected here for the first time are three of Pitt's pioneering and unforgettable masterworks. Also included is a new documentary, Suzan Pitt: Persistence of Vision, which explores Pitt's inspirations, animation techniques, and more.

ASPARAGUS
This candy colored, sexually charged nightmare rocked audiences upon its release and catapulted Pitt to the front ranks of indie animation."One of the most lavish and wondrous animated shorts ever made . . . an overwhelming visual experience." - Oscar-winning Animator John Canemaker

JOY STREET
A "vivid, intriguing, and bizarre" (The New York Times) masterpiece, Joy Street captures a woman's journey from suicidal despair to personal renewal, with the help of an unlikely spirit guide.

EL DOCTOR
Inspired by the art of Mexico, El Doctor follows a melancholic physician in a Mexican hospital who prefers drinking to doctoring. Transformed by the visit of a psychedelic saint, he begins to perform miracles on an odd assortment of hospital patients. " Delightful, visual ecstasy!"- LA Weekly


What the Critics are Saying

"RAUCOUS, SURREAL . . . TRULY MAGICAL!" - LA Weekly

"RARE, GORGEOUS EMOTIONAL POWER." - The New York Times

"LAVISHLY SURREAL . . . CRUMB-LIKE!" - Village Voice

"DAZZLING!" - San Francisco Chronicle

"FOUR STARS (Highest Rating). The title really says it all: Wonderfully strange and surreal, indeed. This is animation with an adult sensibility, and it takes the medium to a whole new level. Bizarre, head-popping, delightful, and utterly one-of-a-kind." - Todd David Schwartz, CBS
