PERPETUAL MOTION PICTURES EVENT

Didja ever hear of a studio called 

Perpetual Motion Pictures?

Neither did I until I started working here:

These two were my bosses:

And they told me countless stories about the guys,

who used to be their bosses:

Buzz Potamkin and Hal Silvermintz

started Perpetual Motion Pictures in 1968

and spent almost 15 years animating stuff characters like these:

Perpetual was the biggest studio in NYC for a long time,

creating boatloads of groundbreaking commercials 

as well as long-form animated productions

until it splintered into separate companies in the 80's.

And now,

many moons later,

ASIFA-EAST is proud to present,

for one night only,

 a retrospective of Perpetual Motion's work 

presided over by a panel of folks 

who were 

THERE:

Mordecai Gerstein (designer)

Tommy Schlamme (producer/editor)

Candy Kugel (animation director)

J.J. Sedelmaier (assistant animator)

Russell Calabrese (assistant animator)

That's a LOT of talent to wrangle.

And there'll be even more in the audience!

That's why they're bringing in

the one person that can host 

and evening of this scale...

ME!

That's right.

Mr. Warburton is flying in to make his 

triumphant return to ASIFA-EAST.

And I can' t wait!
