Our seasonal X~peri~Mental Animationoffering is blessed by the SF debut of a most marvelous shadow-puppet show, Life or Theater?, a Lydia Greer/Caryl Kientzcollaboration that plays out the tragic tales of two Berlin women who changed Art History. Lotte Reiniger fashioned a sublime silhouette-animation style in the ‘30s, whilst CharlotteSalomon opened up a new expressive space between painting and the diary. As to the single-channel work, we’re delighted to share (another Berliner) Sylvia Schedelbauer’s multiple award-winning Wishing Well, Janie Geiser’s Magnetic Sleep, Karen Yasinsky’s Boy, Salise Hughes’ Antarctica, Nina Paley’s You Gotta Believe, Suzzie Roche/Lewis Klahr’s Black River Falls, Kathleen Quillian‘s The Conjurer and the West Coast inaugural of Elise Reynard/Ben Folstein’s Zog: The First Feminist.*
