Happy Birthday Cecile Starr! -
Categories:
 |
A big warm Happy Birthday to Cecile Starr on her 90th year on planet earth. Best known for her book Experimental Animation co-written with Robert Russett. She has been a guiding light in the weird world of experimental filmmaking. As a teacher, writer and promoter of this obscure artform she has influenced a few generations of filmmakers particularly by introducing them to exemplary filmmakers that we take for granted today - Hans Richter, Len Lye, Mary Ellen Bute, and Oskar Fischinger. Join us in thanking her for her many years of hard work and dedication to our great love of abstract animation. Without a doubt many of us might not have been introduced to this world if it wasn't for Cecile Starr and others like her. |

Ciné-Concert: Art in Motion! - Films from iotaCenter at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
Categories:|
 from Silence (1968) by Jules Engel |
Music and animation synchronize and harmonize in 15 playful abstract shorts by classic and contemporary animators. From Viking Eggeling's 1924 Symphonie diagonale, to Jules Engel's 1968 Silence, to New York artist Sharon Louden's 2011 digital creations—all the works presented are "whimsical, drawn-in-space creations that come alive and create their own narratives," as artist Louden describes her own work. Her new pieces are accompanied by live piano and percussion compositions written by Andrew Simpson. The older classic works feature their own original scores, intersections of visual and musical forms. (Approximately 100 minutes)
Other films from iotaCenter's collection include: LUMA NOCTURNA (1974) by Dennis Pies (aka Sky-David) SWAN (1975) by Jules Engel PRELUDES IN MAGICAL TIME (1988) by Sara Petty 3/78 (1978) and TWO SPACE (1979) by Larry Cuba For more information, please visit the NGA's website.
