Red Rider's Lament, a tragicomic experimental animation, employs vintage plastic cowboys and construction paper sets to explore the enactment of masculinity in the Old West. The Rider enters the fold just as the West's dust is settling. His haphazard wanderings cause him to confront manifest destiny and the changes it renders to the landscape and it's inhabitants. Featuring original music by Josh Dumas, Keith Kusterer, Tom McGettrick, Tom Santiago, and Sally Timms.—Jeremy Bessoff
