who is the DC hero?
Berlin-based animator David O'Reilly
and his selection?
David has declared his film line up top secret and has forbidden us from releasing the details but we can tell you that he has named his selection MIXTAPE OF DOOM - a collection of logic bending neuro-masochistic short films from the past, present and future. early animation, modern rarities, lost television shows and other slices of meat from the media's most surreal and succulent tenderloins. sounds tasty!
