The Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation showcases abstract animation and unconventional character animation that is innovative, challenging and inspiring. Festival programs feature outstanding experimental animation of all sorts: classic films, new works, and rare masterpieces.
The four programs of short films in the 2011 festival spotlight a range of animation techniques, including paper cutouts, stop-motion, computer animation, cameraless films, and a wide variety of hand-drawn methods. The content of the films is even more varied, and includes cosmic collages, psychedelic characters, surrealistic narratives, and pioneering work with computer animation. The 2011 festival will feature animator Lori Damiano in person. Lori D will present a program of her films, including a preview screening of "Lord I: The Records Keeper." Other festival highlights include "Solar Sight," a new film from Lawrence Jordan, "Divers in the Rain" by Priit and Olga Parn, "Joie de Vivre," an art nouveau fantasy ballet from 1936, and "Cibernetik 5.3," a legendary psychedelic computer animation from the early 1960's by John Stehura. Full program lineups are viewable on the festival website. Eyeworks celebrates animated moving images that express unusual vision, unusual approaches, and unusual style. __ Roots & Culture contemporary art center and DePaul University School of Cinema & Interactive Media present Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation Saturday, November 5 and Sunday November 6, 2011 DePaul University, CDM Theater, 247 S.
