The 2014-15 season of the Schnitzer Cinema, curated by Cinema Pacific director Richard Herskowitz, is devoted to American experimental media, with a special emphasis on the history of American avant-garde film.
Laura Heit is an experimental filmmaker and performance artist who has been making puppet shows/performance work and animated films for over 15 years. Disquieting and evocative, her films and performances seamlessly cross genres to unfold poetic visual narratives. Laura will present short animations and talk about the ideas and process behind the making of the animated installation, Two Ways Down, on view in the JSMA.
Schnitzer Cinema screenings are free and include free popcorn and soda and are brought to you in partnership with Cinema Pacific and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
