RICHMOND ANIMATION FESTIVAL: BOYS GO TO JUPITER (2024)
Details
The Richmond Animation Festival returns to the Byrd Theatre for its 2026 feature program: Julian Glander’s feature-length animated comedy “Boys Go to Jupiter” with Glander live in person at The Byrd! Glander created most of this himself and it’s gone on to much acclaim, most recently a John Cassavetes Award nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards. Its all-star cast includes Jack Corbett, Janeane Garofalo, Tavi Gevinson, Elsie Fisher, Julio Torres, Joe Pera, Sarah Sherman, and others. Indiewire praised that the movie “brilliantly juxtaposes the endless creative opportunities afforded to us by digital art with the anxiety of a generation that often feels like its own real-world opportunities are becoming fewer and further between.” See this beautiful movie on the big screen followed by a Q&A with Glander– a not-to-be-missed, unique event.
Runtime: 87min
If this is your first movie with us, welcome! The Byrd is general admission, so you can sit wherever you like. A group of us will be there 10-15min early in the front two rows if you want to join us or say hello. After the movie, we’ll chat up front until credits are over, and then more outside under the marquee. Please stay and talk with us!
