"Short Program 4: Animated World

Perhaps no area of film has changed so much over the years as animation. Animated World explores the depths of animation through thirteen films that range from the small and poignant to the over-the-top and uproariously funny. Computer animation has changed the world of film and is well represented with films of an artist?s interview, a tale of the space age, Dragons and Knights and political commentary. Stop motion animation stories feature a teddy bear in love, Greek produced tragedy, a tale of an egg and a strange balloon. Experimental photo manipulation from local artists shows alongside traditional animation legend Bill Plympton?s latest work in an Animated World that is not to be missed.
