Shadowplay – Women in Experimental Animation

A century of women in experimental animation, from the silent era to the present! It’s a tour of radical animation experiments, including the paper cut-outs of Lotte Reniger’s fairy tales, the jazz-inspired visual music of Mary Ellen Bute, the pinscreen inventions of co-creator Claire Parker, and beyond into the surreal work of more modern animators! SHADOWPLAY is curated survey of the contributions women have made to the field of experimental animation and visuals from the inception of the cinematic arts.
