Still from 'Mirror Moves for Private Eyes' by Alice Cohen (2010)
This Sunday (May 22), Los Angeles Filmforum presents Triumph of the Wild: New Experimental Animation from Around the World, an evening of recent animation made for “thinking adults.” The slate of films explore landscapes, histories, physiology and the animal kingdom through a variety of techniques and aesthetic strategies.
Curated by CalArts alumnus, Eric Leiser (Film/Video BFA 05), three of the filmmakers—Alice Cohen, Gina Marie Napolitan (Film/Video MFA 12) and Leiser himself—will be present to discuss their work at Los Angeles’s Egyptian Theater.
