The Polish-Russian stop-action film maker Ladislas Starevich is the creator of the first puppet animation films. We will screen two of these films. The 1912 Cameraman's Revenge uses animated insects (!). The 1933 The Mascot follows the adventures of a small puppet dog. Both of these early stop-action films are extraordinary.
PRESENTATION: The Collage Engine
Presented by Mark West (in English) Saturday April 26, 2025 16:30
Mark West, co-founder of Ceci n'est pas un musée, will illustrate the powerful, and extraordinarily simple, mechanism of collage -- creations found by re-combining fragments of ordinary things.
Yves Cloutier is a singer-songwriter-composer based in Montréal. As a friend of Ceci n'est pas un musée, he will offer a musical performance with his acoustic 18-string guitar. This will be a unique afternoon of music.
