Award-winning filmmaker Michaela Pavlatova seamlessly navigates between and melds together live-action documentary, optically printed archival footage, and intricately hand-drawn animation in her new film On Grandma (Czech Republic, 2000, 30 mins, Color, 35mm). This film explores Pavlatova's grandmother's desires and adventures growing up in Prague. Her matter-of-fact recollections of everyday occurrences and political turmoil paint a broader picture while remaining an intimate portrait of one woman's journey through life. In Lorelei Pepi's Grace (U.S., 1999, 7 mins, Color, 16mm) an incandescent body floats through animated space creating a layered poem of visual metaphor. This program will include additional evocative new works from around the globe.*
