As part of After School Special: The 2018 School of Visual Arts Alumni Film & Animation Festival, we are pleased to present graphic novelist, animator, writer, director, and SVA alumnus Dash Shaw’s (BFA 2005 Illustration) first feature-length animated film, My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea (2016). Shaw will be on hand following the film for a Q&A. The feature will be preceded by the short film series Makin’ Things and the world premiere of the short film Noise by another multi-hypenate artist/director and SVA alumnus, Jim McKenzie (BFA 2011 Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects).  The Q&A will be moderated by current student Stephanie Kim (BFA 2019 Illustration).
Synopsis: An earthquake causes a high school to float into the sea, where it slowly sinks like a shipwreck. Featuring the voices of Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Reggie Watts, and Susan Sarandon.
My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea is rated PG-13, and some material may be inappropriate for children under the age of 13. Children under the age of 5 may not be admitted.
