This October, we at Spectacle have teamed up with Desert Island Comics to serve up two of Le Dernier Cri’s mind-melting manic animations. First, we take you into the art studio for LE MAUVAIS OEIL! This full-on visual assault will set your brain ablaze, slap you across the face, and send you home crying to your roommates.

If that wasn’t enough, we’re following it up with a field trip to the HOPITAL BRUT where you’ll watch one of the most gunked up, electrifying animation jams in recorded human history. During this 45 minute visit you’ll stop by each ward, spend some time with the patients, and try your best to not gouge your eyes out. Making use of nearly every animation technique known to man, HOPITAL BRUT is an unforgettable experience not for the queasy-stomached or faint of heart.

Founded by Pakito Bolino and Caroline Sury in 1992, Le Derner Cri has published countless books, zines, and prints by outsider artists like Mike Diana, Matthias Lehmann, Charles Burnes, Fredox, Henriette Valium, Stéphane Blanquet, and many more.

We’re thrilled to showcase 2 of their rarely screened animation compilations for the first time ever in New York! October 4th screening will feature an intro from Desert Island Comic’s Gabe Fowler who will also be bringing a collection of Le Dernier Cri books to browse or buy.
