[Frameworks] Experimental Animations from Seattle on tour - New York City first stop

[Tess Martin]

Hello Frameworks,
this is my first attempt at posting, so apologies if I'm getting norms or format wrong.

I'm an animator making experimental shorts in Seattle, WA, and have curated a program of shorts by a collective of like-minded animators called 'Inter-Action: Shorts by SEAT, Seattle Experimental Animation Team.' It premiered at the NW Film Forum here in Seattle last week and is coming to NYC in July, screening at the 92YTribeca as well at Anthology Film Archives as part of the NewFilmmakers program. I've included the full program and links below, and I hope those of you based in New York City will consider attending (it includes a recent short by Bruce Bickford).

The program will also be going to Europe in October, with stops in London (The Horse Hospital), Amsterdam (Eye Film Institute, De Nieuwe Anita), possibly Groningen (VERA), Berlin (Lichtblick Kino) and Paris (La Peniche). Please get in touch (tessmartin at hotmail.com) if you are interested in bringing the program to a venue near you, or simply for suggestions. 

Thanks for reading,
Tess Martin

Animator Tess Martin presents a collection of short animations that 
explore inter-actions - action between each frame of motion as well as 
between each subject on screen. Made individually by twelve members of 
SEAT (Seattle Experimental Animation Team) these thought-provoking films
 reflect on love, insanity, faith and murder. 

ABOUT SEAT: Seattle Experimental Animation Team (SEAT) is a 
collective of animator/filmmakers who use a wide range of techniques to 
make films frame by frame. SEAT uses nearly every technique from 
classical hand-drawn to computer animation.  SEAT's members make films 
independently, but group endeavors involve non-traditional screenings 
and interactive events. Our growing collective of award-winning 
animators includes Webster Crowell, Stefan Gruber, Sarah Jane Lapp, 
Salise Hughes and Tess Martin. Bruce Bickford appears in this program as
 an honorary member of SEAT.   The SEAT website is 
www.experimentalanimation.org.
