The Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation is excited to present a program of short animation work as part of the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE.) Titled "Double Vision: Comics and Animation," this program features a series of strange, fun, and beautiful films from artists who fuse the two media in unexpected and compelling ways.
Half of the pieces in this program are made by comics artists who also make animation (Mahler, Larsson, Dery, McManus, Beaty and Shaw.) Also included are works from animators who make formal or conceptual references to comics in their films (Gruber, Trainor, Sweetvittles, O'Reilly), and works made through collaborations (Cruikshank, working with Kim Detich; and Lockhart, working with Marc Bell).
Jim Trainor, Jo Dery, Nate Beaty, Amy Lockhart and Marc Bell will be present to discuss their work in a Q&A after the program.
