James Bridges Theater, Melnitz Hall, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television

The Animation Extravaganza, for those in the UCLA Animation Workshop, is an all-inclusive, annual event for our graduate and undergraduate animators to show their finished films. From 3D to traditional, stop-motion to interactive, all facets of the medium are explored by M.F.A. students. Harlem Nights expresses the celebration of traditional and emerging art. These pieces are dynamic and diverse, playful and powerful.

On this night, animators get to reap the rewards of their hard work to tell introspective, funny and awe-inspiring stories with animation.
