The Dryden will screen The Black Maria Film Festival (U.S. 2018, 100 min., DCP) as part of the Always at the Dryden series.

A special selection of the best new animation straight from the Black Maria Film Festival in New Jersey, this program of ten films features many different styles of animation and covers a range of topics. These include sketches of New York City, Mary Pickford and Janet Gaynor cast in a surreal epic, an eighteenth-century magic show, a true crime set in 1960 Buenos Aires, Percy Shelley's poem "The Dirge," Narcotics Anonymous, First Nation land in northwest Canada, and bizarre weather driving through Arizona in 1973.
