Glen Keane Predicts the Future
Check out these drawings created by Glen Keane over 30 years

“Perpetual Motion” by Béla Vajda
Moto Perpetuo (Perpetual Motion) by Béla Vajda (1935-2011) is a Hungarian short that won the Palme d’Or at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival. It offers a terrific visual concept, sprightly animation, and funny gags throughout. The Hungarian website Daazo writes that the film “shows an absurd picture of our neverending changing culture and history. With its critical view of life, this film was probably a perfect mirror of a Central-European, Soviet country in 1982.” It also offers a terrifically inappropriate John Lennon gag, just a few months after he was murdered.

ANIMATION ALERT: This Friday @ Squeaky Wheel
Strange Mutations, 2 films by Nancy Andrews
Fri., Apr. 20th @ 7:00 pm Location: Squeaky Wheel Microcinema
Cost: $7 non-members / $5 members
Venture into the unknown with two animations by award-winning artist,
Nancy Andrews, ON A PHANTOM LIMB (2009) and BEHIND THE EYES ARE THE EARS
(2010). Andrews' work fuses collaged, drawn and found imagery with
solemn mythical creatures and autobiographical materials to unfold
curious, otherworldly tales that reflect on aspects of the foreign and
the familiar. Emotionally charged, these supernatural films maneuver
from quizzical and wistful, to surreal and nostalgic. Among many honors,
Andrews is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship (2008), and her
films are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. She will
be present via Skype for a Q&A following the screening. This event is funded in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts
