Filmmaker Emily Hubley Screening of Animated Work
Emily Hubley will visit the Deptartment of Art Computer Arts and Animation program. This will be an open screening and discussion with the artist. All are welcome, and admission is free.
Hubley is an independent filmmaker who has received one of the first Annenberg
grants from the Sundance Institute in support of "The Toe Tactic," a feature
film combining animation and live action, which Hubley has written and will
direct. Her works have been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and around the world. She produces her own artistic short films that address personal and social issues in a semi-autobiographical fashion.
Emily Hubley has also collaborated with prominent documentary and feature filmmakers who have incorporated her visualizations as important parts of their own works, such as in the documentary "Blue Vinyl" and the feature film "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
Also in the program will be a premiere screening of an interview tape with Emily, entitled "Emily Hubley and The Pigeon Within." In the tape, Department of Art Lecturer and host Janet Benn interviews this award-winning animation filmmaker, and Emily's film "The Pigeon Within" is shown. The production was produced, directed and edited by Janet Benn for Amherst Community Television, the local cable access channel, where it will be shown in the spring.
The fourth floor room is handicapped accessible from the elevator in the west end of the building. Others may enter through the North Pleasant St. ramp.
