Nancy Jean Tucker comes to Portland to screen some of her own work, as well as a collection of truly innovative films by various animators. The program explores both the serious and the ridiculous sides of animation, including tales about a pet hamster’s voyage, the collapse of a paper world, what happens when you trade heads with your cat, and a musical homage to the film “Willow”. With work by Maureen Selwood, Telefantasy Studios, Colin Barton, Al Herrmann, Hsin-I Tseng, Keren Albala, Jed McGowan, Helen Hill, Stefan Gruber, Amy Lockhart and more!
