Upcoming Broadcasts:

Gumby Dharma (#301) Duration: 56:37 CC Stereo TVG

Art Clokey's life is fascinating in its own right, but also in how it gently influenced his characters and story lines for 40+ years. His world famous characters - Gumby, Pokey and the rest of the gang - and his animation of Davey and Goliath, seem to echo the spiritual path of their creator/animator. Art's animation work and love of life have influenced millions of TV and film viewers and filmmakers across the world.
Robina Marchesi's film captures Art's story as he reminisces about his long life and his vast work. In addition, it includes short interviews with some of the contemporary leaders in the animation world who have been touched and influenced by Art's pivotal contribution to the genre. Highlight clips of Art's original, groundbreaking art films, Gumbasia and Mandala, appear, as well as clips of some of Art's favorite Gumby and Davey and Goliath episodes. Also included is new stop motion work (directed/animated by Academy Award Nominee Timothy Hittle), depicting 'interviews' with Gumby and some of the gang on their time with Art Clokey.

Prison Town / No Angels (#208) Duration: 1:27:01 CC Stereo TVG

In March 2005 a federal prison opened its doors just outside Susanville, California. Like hundreds of other rural 'prison towns' across the US, Susanville hitched its hopes to the colossal American prison boom of the '80s and '90s, desperately trying to shore up its struggling economy. But to many natives the town has become almost unrecognizable: the new Susanville is a world of 'cops and cons' where nearly everyone lucky enough to have a job works for the prison; local businesses have shut down by the dozen; cliques at school are not jocks and preps but guard kids vs. inmate kids; and the talk of the town is who got stabbed at the prison riot this week. By Katie Galloway and Po Kutchins.
Also, the Truly CA Short "No Angels", by Larry Warner.
