Prof. Kristen Palana’s new animated short, Veggie Propaganda has been selected to screen at the Sixth Annual International SURGE Film Festival as well as at the First Annual Vegas Independent Film Festival in 2012. Completed in September of 2011, this will be the first time that Veggie Propaganda screens in North America.
The Annual Social Uprising Resistance and Grassroots Encourage (SURGE) Film Festival has upcoming screenings in Austin, TX. in February of 2012 and Los Angeles, CA. in March of 2012 with more cities and dates to be announced. The Vegas Independent Film Festival is held in Las Vegas, NV. and after its initial kickoff on November 16, 2011, more dates of future screenings throughout the upcoming year will be announced.
Veggie Propaganda is a quirky, sing-song animation that puts a spotlight on animals, our relationship with them and their rights. This 2D fine-art/digital animation features original music performed by New York City band, The Penultimate. It explores childhood myths about animals vs. the reality of their lives in a human-centered world, where our food really comes from and how by simply eating less meat individuals can make an astounding positive impact on their health, their finances and the environment.
