SUMMARY:Opera Action Figures Installation
DESCRIPTION:Stop motion animations by Thetford based twins sisters Amy and Terry Lawrence on display alongside their sets and figurines.\nARTIST STATEMENT\nWe loved the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Akhnaten so much we decided to make an animated version. In the spirit of making it up as we went along\, we sewed costumes\, built a set\, lit it and filmed it. Amy had made stop-action animation before but never with the small wooden dolls called artist’s mannequins. We had to learn how these faceless dolls could express emotion–through body language\, the tilt of a head\, how they walked\, climbed stairs or juggled. There was lots of juggling. \nThe process was so engrossing we began looking for other music we loved so we could create a story to go with it (Gershwin Station)\, or a story we loved (The Magic Doll) that needed music to fit. (Sibelius\, who knew?)  The Prisoner’s Song was a 1920s recording that told its own story. Thank You\, Mr. Sondheim was a tribute featuring sets and characters from 18 shows in four minutes. \nAnimation allows Terry’s theatre background to blend with Amy’s film background. Terry can build models and sets while Amy experiments with pans\, tilts and action-movie montages (Ninja Nannies—note the obscure but wonderful Bob Seger score). It’s always about music and story. The only question is whether we’re making music videos (Moon Buggy) or musicals? \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nTerry Lawrence has an MFA in Theatre/Set Design and experience in model-making\, props and set painting. She has found that directing for the stage helps when it comes to moving little wooden people around. \nAmy Lawrence is a former professor of Film and Television at Dartmouth College. She has made animated films in several old-school formats including fabric shot on film\, needlepoint animated in Photoshop\, and puppet films made with Dragon. She currently makes films with her sister in their mom’s basement.

Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \n“The seeming irreparable divisions in our country have been a hot topic of this year’s SXSW entries\, but one documentary is preoccupied with finding solutions.” – Austin Monthly\, The Films We Loved Most at SXSW \n“Our democracy needs us to be joiners! …[an] urgent message.” – Hillary Clinton \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Four Daughters
DESCRIPTION:Between light and darkness stands Olfa\, a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. One day\, her two older daughters disappear. To fill in their absence\, the filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses and invents a unique cinema experience that will lift the veil on Olfa and her daughters’ life stories. \n“The form of “Four Daughters” — neither fiction\, nor documentary; neither memoir\, nor reportage — [is] oddly fitting\, even when it keeps bumping up against Ben Hania’s oddly romanced filmmaking.” – Variety \n“Ben Hania and her subjects give us a profound live window into the cycle of trauma and\, in doing so\, radically trace an under-recognized path between deeply personal pain and dogmatic extremism.” – Paste Magazine \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/
