About this Event
A celebrated figure of Swiss film animation as well as a master visual storyteller, Georges Schwizgebel is a consummate animator whose work bursts with colors, sounds and imagery. Often working alone, Schwizgebel creates films that are intricately timed, painted, edited, and scored, mixing a playful approach to narration with breathtaking formalism. In this talk, Schwizgebel will discuss his prolific career, as well as his artistic approaches, recurrent themes—such as spiral movements, loops, and metamorphoses—and the importance of music in his work. Schwizgebel will also present several of his films during the event.
Following the talk, Schwizgebel will sign the limited edition Animation First poster at 3:15-4:00pm in the Skyroom.
