TONIGHT: Somerville… in Shorts! An Evening of Outdoor Experimental and Animated Films
Come to Union Square tonight and see what Somerville film-makers have produced!
Somerville… in Shorts!
An Evening of Outdoor Experimental and Animated Films
Ever wonder what Somerville looks like in shorts? (Short films, that is)! On a warm summer evening, cool Union Square lights up at nightfall with an outdoor screening of animated and experimental shorts by Somerville filmmakers.
The Somerville Arts Council and Somerville Community AccessTelevision (SCAT) have joined forces to project work from local animators and experimental filmmakers, including Karen Aqua, Joel Frenzer, Steve Gentile, Gina Kamentsky, Norah Solorzano and The Zucker Brothers.
Some of these filmmakers have shown internationally, like Karen Aqua, and many have shown nationally, including Joel Frenzer and Steve Gentile. Some of the films are playful and wild, like Gina Kamentsky’s “Einstein’s Riddle”; several shorts feature animals, like Frenzer’s zany “Paper Bears.” The works of local up-and-comers, many who have taken workshops at SCAT and Harvard, will also be showcased. Ranging from drawn animation to stop motion, humorous to ponderous, this family-friendly film fest is the first of its kind in the area. Local indie band, Faces on Film, will warm up the square while waiting for darkness to descend. Following Faces on Film and preceeding the film screening, Tim Devin locates us in time and place with his presentation of “The History of Somerville, 2010-2100,” a community art project.
Rough Schedule:
7:00pm: Faces on Film
8:00pm: Tim Devin's History of Somerville, 2010-2100
8:30pm: Animated and Experimental Shorts
