SUMMARY:cinéSPEAK presents In Process with The Philadelphia Animation Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate salon-style conversation with members of Philadelphia Animation Ensemble as they share works-in-progress.\n\n\nIn Process is a cinéSPEAK event series that offers intimate screenings featuring acclaimed local filmmakers. In Process is an opportunity for makers and audiences to delve deep into their craft through dialogue and screening works-in-progress. These salon-style events are designed to inspire and educate both emerging and experienced makers by engaging in hands-on learning\, collaboration\, and experimentation. \n \nThe Philadelphia Animation Ensemble is an open collective of animators with vastly different techniques and styles who come together to play collaborative games and delight in experimental moving image. \n \n**EVENT FLOW: \nDOORS @ 4:30PM \nCONVERSATION & SCREENING @ 5:00PM \n— \n**TICKETS** \n$5-$15 Sliding Scale \nPlease pay as you’re able; No one turned away for lack of funds. Advanced registration is recommended as seating is limited and first come\, first served. \nDONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Every penny helps. Support our efforts to launch a brick-and-mortar indie art house cinema in West Philadelphia. \n \nAbout the Featured Artists: \n \nAmy Lee Ketchum \nAmy Lee Ketchum is a Chinese American artist and animator based in Philadelphia. She creates poetic narratives and tactile worlds in her animations which draw from personal and collective memory\, metaphysical narratives\, and dance. Amy teaches at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where she is the Chair of Animation. She is also a member of the artist collective Tiger Strikes Asteroid and a founding member of the Philadelphia Animation Ensemble. \nCybee \nCybee is an animator\, storyteller\, and ecologist living in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia. Their work is collaborative\, surreal\, and often pedagogical in nature\, employing a range of digital and analogue techniques. Currently\, they are using animation to share stories of collective struggles against displacement and to celebrate and deepen relationships to land. \n \nMaisie O’Brien \nMaisie is a Philadelphia-based shadow caster and educator. They have toured and practiced their original storytelling with communities including Studio 34\, Black Cherry Puppet Theater\, The Baltimore Crankie Festival\, and Asian Arts Initiative\, as well as developed shadows for collaborations with fellow artists in film\, dance\, music\, and theater. She also works to foster young voices via puppetry and narrative arts workshops\, summer camps\, and festivals. \n \nAbout the Films: \n \nLanterns presented by Amy Lee Ketchum \nLanterns is an experimental stop-animation that explores the connection between invasive species and xenophobia. By overlaying the history of the China trade with imagery of lanternfly squashing campaigns\, the film foregrounds the irony of simultaneous fetishization and othering of non-Western cultures. \n \nThe Word for World presented by Cybee  \nThe Word for World is a short poetic animation illustrating the stories of 6 land-defenders in Philadelphia and movements they are a part of. Deeply collaborative in nature – the project began with a community storytelling workshop\, in which activists wove together\, learned from\, and celebrated each other’s stories to generate a short script. The script is now being animated by 6 animators of various styles and mediums to create an exquisite-corpse-style animation. \n \nThe Artist presented by Maisie O’Brien \nThe Artist is an original short story about making mistakes and healing in better communication with the world\, told through illuminated crankie theater (scrolling panoramic art)\, shadow puppetry\, and song. \n \nAbout the Venue: \nMaking Worlds Cooperative Bookstore & Social Center is a nonprofit cooperative bookstore and social center that promotes collective knowledge\, skills\, and visions of liberation from our communities. \n \nFollow: @makingworldsbooks \n \nAccessibility: Making Worlds is an ADA-accessible space on the ground floor.
