Join Seattle animators Tess Martin and Stefan Gruber next Saturday, December 11, at the Northwest Film Forum for a free screening of their new works! Martin will showcase Plain Face, her 10-minute stop-frame animated film about a stranger who arrives in a fantastical land only to be met with prejudice, violence and love in a journey through memory. Gruber will perform Psychic Portraiture, a live animation show in which he paints portraits of audience members with animated light on a stage arranged with a large canvas. While bantering with both the model and audience, Gruber will intuit psychic details and symbols from the life of his subject to shape the portrait. Both animators will be asking for feedback about their works from the audience, so come with a discerning eye and an open mind! For more details about the free screening, follow the link.
