(see times)
New Prints!
In Person with Emily Hubley, a daughter of Faith and John Hubley, who makes hand-drawn animations. She worked on Faith Hubley’s films from 1977 to 2001. You’ll hear her childhood voice in Windy Day.
Presented in conjunction with The Believer 2014 film issue that includes a DVD of the Hubleys’ films introduced by John Sayles.
On marrying in 1955, John and Faith Hubley vowed to make a film a year; they went on to make over twenty animated films together before John’s death in 1977. John trained at Disney and worked for UPA, where he created Mr. Magoo. But in their socially committed independent animations, the Hubleys’ experimental aesthetic was distinctly modern, and included paper cutouts, wax resistance, and oil painting, as well as collaborations with musicians from Benny Carter to Dizzy Gillespie. Their inspiration came from their children’s play, improvisation, and issues of their times, including overpopulation and the arms race.
