Flicker will hold a free screening of the 2016 stop-motion animated masterpiece film Torrey Pines by filmmaker, musician and animator Clyde Petersen. The autobiographical film follows a young Petersen and his schizophrenic mother as they embark on a two-month long road trip from Southern California to New York. Told almost entirely without discernible dialogue, the film takes place somewhere between reality and hallucination, expounding on themes surrounding mental illness, transgender identity, coming of age, familial relationship and ‘90s pop culture. The film also relies on a diverse and evocative soundtrack that drives the action and sets the mood.
