effect in Jessica Yu’s feature documentary Protagonist,
which was released theatrically in November. The film centers around
the idea of the protagonist in Greek drama, and the puppets function as
a Greek chorus, enacting moments from the Bacchae and from the
subjects’ lives. April 2006 Janie Geiser received a City of Los Angeles Fellowship, a competitive $10,000
award to create new work that is on display until June at the
Municipal Art Gallery of
Barnsdall Park in Los Angeles. September - October 2005 Several shorts by Janie Geiser screened at the International Experimental Cinema Exposition in September:
The Secret Story, Lost in Motion, Ultima Thule, Terrace
49 and The Fourth Watch. Terrace 49 screened at the Times bfi London Film Festival in October. Combining animated and superimposed images of impending
disaster from adventure cartoons with filmed objects (graph paper, charts,
calligraphy books), the film follows a heroine with the ability to become
invisible. |
