OS Cinema presents Fritz The Cat

This month, Oval Space Cinema takes a light-hearted stance in the freedom of speech debate by screening cult-classic Fritz The Cat.

First released in 1972, Fritz the Cat can be considered the daddy of controversial cartoons... The 79 mins animated feature dragged the family-friendly genre into the counter-culture, through its inclusion of adult themes such as sex, drugs, politics and violence. Join us on a progressive, though-provoking journey, set to a classic jazz-infused soundtrack that features the likes of Bo Didley and Billie Holliday.

Synopsis: A hypocritical swinging college student cat raises hell in a satiric vision of various elements on the 1960's.
