Heather Henson's HANDMADE PUPPET DREAMS: "A Very LA Evening" Screening!

The Philosophical Research Society is honored to welcome Heather Henson’s HANDMADE PUPPET DREAMS film series for an exciting evening of incredible short puppet films by local LA artists!

A part of Heather Henson's Green Feather Foundation, Handmade Puppet Dreams is a traveling film series that promotes independent artists exploring their handmade craft specifically for the screen. These films all focus on real-time puppetry, and allow artists to build their vision, and then breathe life into their dreams. Founded in 2004, Henson and producer Alex U. Griffin have set out to showcase a new generation of puppeteers and puppet artists who embrace film as a medium for artistic expression.

​

For this very special evening, Handmade Puppet Dreams will present a wonderful program curated especially for PRS, exploring the craft of puppetry on film from independent LA artists – including Chrisine Papalexis’ Amaterasu, Pam Severns’ Bunny Love, Rudy Martinez's Ham, Jack Pullman’s If Birds Fly, Adnan Hussain’s Ramkali, and Sam Koji Hale’s Yamasong – with more to be announced!

Join us to see these inventive and imaginative films, including a Q&A with the filmmakers and the chance to see some of the puppets themselves in an exclusive one-night-only display!

Tickets: $10, $5 for LA Guild of Puppetry members (w/ promo code)
