Animated Films by Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
In Person with Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby!
Animation is notoriously slow work—Forbis and Tilby’s most recent film was seven years in the making, in part because every frame was hand drawn and painted; they even wrote one of the songs. Drawing on documentary form, Wild Life tells the tale of a young man who immigrates to the bleak Canadian prairies with dreams of being a rancher. Their earlier When the Day Breaks lovingly details, using pencil and paints, the troubling day of Ruby the pig, who witnesses a car accident when she goes shopping. With additional clips and images, Forbis and Tilby will chart their collaborative creative process for their artistic animations and assorted commissioned work.
