We are so excited to announce that we are hosting @jonniphillips as a visiting artist next week!
Jonni Phillips is a transgender filmmaker, animator, and cartoonist from California. She works in digital, stop-motion, cut-out, and traditional hand-drawn animation. She attended CalArts from 2015 to 2019, where she made several ambitious projects, including Goodbye Forever Party, a 20-minute film, and The Final Exit of the Disciples of Ascensia, a 45-minute film, both hand drawn on paper and shot on a multiplane.
Jonni will give a public talk on Wednesday, October 9th in the Canzani Screening Room at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited, so please plan accordingly!
Additionally, we are partnering with Sarah Schmidt to host a screening of Malt Adult while Jonni is here! Malt Adult #15 will be on Thursday, October 10th in the Cloyd Family Animation Center Drawing Room (DSB 142) at 7:00pm.
