Animator Signe Baumane will screen and discuss her latest feature films Rocks in my Pockets and My Love Affair With Marriage - films that fuse animation with music, science, photography, three-dimensional sets and traditional hand-drawn animation.
Signe Baumane is a Latvian-born independent filmmaker, artist and animator with an interest in a wide variety of narrative themes, including sex, pregnancy, bodily functions, love, marriage, and the individual vs. society. Many of her films are told with a strong female point of view. Signe is not afraid to experiment, be provocative or bring the most personal of issues to light. Signe is a Guggenheim Fellow and a Fellow in Film for New York Foundation for the Arts. Her 16 animated shorts have screened collectively at over 400 film festivals including Berlinale, Sundance and Annecy. Rocks in my Pockets premiered at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2014, went to over 150 film festivals and opened theatrically in the US through Zeitgeist Films. Since 2015, she has been working on My Love Affair With Marriage, which will premiere in 2022.
This event is sponsored by the Spencer Barnett Experimental Film Forum.
