"Lost" selected for 2014 Creative Climate Action Awards /  by Susan Allbert

So happy to report that "Lost", my stop motion animation was selected for 2014 Creative Climate Action awards. After a month long show at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office it took third prize. It's such a pleasure to work with the amazing people at the Human Impacts Institute and I'm honored to have been involved in "Making Climate Personal".

Stop Motion Animation /  by Susan Allbert

8th March 2014
My animated short film "Lost" will be screened at  "Hands On: The Illusion of Movement".

New York City gallery Pocket Utopia is pleased to present an evening of animated short films by 13 contemporary artists from around the world curated by Bara Jichova.

Featuring works by: Susan Allbert, Martha Colburn, Erin Dunn, Dustin Grella, Amy Jenkins, Kirsten Lepore, Paulius Nosokas, Allison Schulnik, Jeffrey Scher, Pavel Švec, Matěj Smetana, Richard Tuohy and Theodore Ushev

All of these shorts celebrate both traditional animation and hands-on filmmaking. The techniques vary, ranging from hand-drawn, claymation, stop motion and cutout animation to cel animation process and rotoscoping technique.
Rather than having a traditional narrative structure, these films challenge audiences to find broader and more creative interpretations.
