<h2>2024 Eyeworks Experimental Animation Series</h2><h4>Program 1 </h4>This year’s iteration of Eyeworks presents two programs of short films on Saturday, November 16 at 12:00 and 2:45 PM. Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs not required but appreciated. <h4>About Eyeworks:</h4>The Eyeworks Experimental Animation Screening Series is an annual event focusing on experimental animation, with screening events in Chicago, LA, and NY each fall. Eyeworks spotlights works made by individual artists, drawing on the tradition of classic cartoon animation and the lineages of avant-garde and underground cinema. The aim of Eyeworks, founded in 2010, is to present works that engage the enormous potential inherent in the artform of animation, and to show pieces that use animation as part of distinctly personal, conceptual, exploratory, and critical practices. Past festival guests with retrospective screenings have included David OReilly, Lori Damiano, Nancy Andrews, Caleb Wood, Takeshi Murata, Martin Arnold, Jacolby Satterwhite, Naoyuki Tsuji, Janie Geiser, Laura Harrison, Barry Doupé, and Al Jarnow. The 2024 Eyeworks guest is Yoriko Mizushiri, with a retrospective screening at 2220 Arts + Archives in Los Angeles. Eyeworks is curated by Alexander Stewart and Lilli Carré, and is presented by Pioneer Works.Festival curators Alexander Stewart and Lilli Carré in person!
