Fôret

Lisa Barcy

Animated iterations and recursions made 64 with 2" x 3" collages form a hypnotic bombardment of color and shapes, accompanied by music from Malian artist Luka Productions. 'This was an accidental animation. It started as a series of collages I cut up into small pieces so I could give them away, and ended up animating them under the camera before parting with them. " - Lisa Barcy

Steve Darnall, Lisa Barcy

Told with cut-out puppets and sand animation, 'Mermaid' is the story of Carl and Doris, the darlings of marine biology whose marriage becomes strained under the weight of the giant squid. A film resplendent with love, betrayal, and crustaceans.
