ANIMATED WOMEN

A quartet of creative biographies that showcase the life and work of four independent animators: Faith Hubley, Joanna Priestley, Ruth Peyser and Lynn Smith. Each program emphasizes the personal style, thematic concerns, animation process, and method of each woman, attempting to communicate the wide-ranging artistic potential of her chosen art form. The series offers viewers an opportunity to see complete, complicated artworks in a lively, engaging, in-person format that redefines the world of "cartoons" beyond the Disney, Warner Bros., and Saturday morning cartoon context.
