Join us at the KPL Central Library theatre for a free screening of animated shorts selected by exhibiting artist Emily Pelstring
Programmed by Emily Pelstring, this collection of short animated films spans from the 1950s to 2022. These films address thresholds between interior and outer worlds with an invigorating range of animation styles and techniques. Each film has inspired Pelstring’s own approach to animation as featured in her current exhibition, The Passion of the Hedge-Rider.
