The Chaperone

NEW DOCS

What would you do if you were supervising a middle school dance and a motorcycle gang crashed the party? In this witty and endearing animated short, two men, Ralph, the chaperone, and Stefan, the DJ, recall the events of an extraordinary night in Montreal in 1973. Their David and Goliath fight with the bikers incorporated chairs, a coke bottle, and a broom as weapons. A creative toolkit of animation styles establish a fantasy pop art setting for violence, mayhem, comeuppance, and victory.  NK
