Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored w/Q&A- June 12, 2025

Calgary Cinematheque Society and Quickdraw Animation Society are proud to present six classic restored cartoons from the Fleischer catalogue with a special Q&A after the show.

Who Are We?

We are a non-profit film society dedicated to presenting significant, challenging, and essential works of cinema art in Calgary. 

Our season runs year round, with screenings happening bi-weekly, in curated programs which situate each film in a thematic and historical context.

We do this because we believe cinema is an essential form of artistic, social, and political expression. Audiences should be able to engage with a wide range of cinematic expression, not only with what is commercially viable. We believe in the power of sharing these experiences with other people in a theatrical setting and we strive to cultivate a community around that experience.
