The infamous Ralph Bakshi feature that made his reputation was the first animated film to to receive an “X” rating.Fritz is a college-age feline wandering the hippie-era streets of New York in search of political, sexual & chemical experiences.

HEAVY TRAFFIC @ 7.30pm
Ralph Bakshi’s follow-up to Fritz the Cat is a mixture of live action and animation. It’s a downbeat look at the urban life of a young New Yorker.

COONSKIN (aka Streetfight) @ 9.00pm
Animator Ralph Bakshi conjures up a violent universe populated by hustlers and punks, sad-eyed prostitutes and sullen gangsters. Coonskin looks at the bleak life and rude energy of the American inner city. An angry, violent portrayal of Harlem street life and the black condition of the 70s. Live action & animation starring Barry White, Scatman Crothers and Philip Michael Thomas. Uncut version.
