THE GIRL WITHOUT HANDS – Philly Premiere – Tickets – PhilaMOCA – Philadelphia, PA – August 19th, 2017 | Ticketfly
Philly Premiere of the one-man animated masterpiece from France, two family-friendly matinee screenings:
3:00 PM : http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1526998 5:30 PM : http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1526999 In hard times, a miller sells his daughter to the Devil. Protected by her purity, she escapes from the Devil who, in revenge, deprives her of her hands. So begins her long journey towards the light… but in spite of her resilience and the new protection of a handsome prince’s estate, the Devil devises a plan of his own.
THE GIRL WITHOUT HANDS is the audacious feature debut from acclaimed short filmmaker Sébastien Laudenbach, whose beautiful and dreamlike take on the Brothers Grimm story has created an adult fairytale destined to become a classic. Hand-painted with lush, evocative details and featuring the voices of Anaïs Demoustier (The New Girlfriend) and Jérémie Elkaïm (Declaration of War), the film premiered in the ACID section at Cannes, was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the César Awards, and won both the Jury Prize and the award for Best French Film at the Annecy Animation Festival.

2nd Saturday Street Art Tour: Spring Arts / Eraserhood Tickets in Philadelphia, PA, United States
(New ‘Spring Arts’ mural by Glossblack.)
Excited to announce this!
Beginning this August, StreetsDept.com will begin offering monthly street art walking tours guided by me, Conrad Benner. I’m calling them 2nd Saturday Street Art Tours, because as the name suggests they’ll take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month. And each month I’ll explore street art, murals, graffiti, public art, and interesting architecture in a different neighborhood.
First up, the Spring Arts/Eraserhood neighborhood, where a TON of great street art and pop-up murals are happening right now!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 2017
12:00 PM — 2:00 PM
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 2017
4:00 PM — 6:00 PMGet your ticket(s) now HERE (tickets are limited.) I am charging a small ticket price because these walks take a lot of time and effort to plan, organize, promote, and execute. If you’re a fan of this blog and the work I’ve put into this blog over the last six and a half years, I hope you’ll understand. And trust me, I always make my tours entertaining, filled with all the insights into Philly’s street art world that I can tell you.
Hope you’ll join me!
