A heads up: The “Stop & Go” stop-motion film festival, curated by artist and animator Sarah Klein of San Francisco, opens Monday at the UA Fine Arts Center Gallery with a screening and reception for Klein at 7 p.m. Films continue 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, March 16-18. From a UA press release on the show see below. Read more about Sarah Klein here. Selected videos in the Stop & Go screening include The Manipulators by Clare Rojas and Andrew Jeffrey Wright who alter and collage images from fashion magazines to create an entirely different story. Intricate paper-cutout circles by sculptor Jen Stark become a series of regurgitating rainbows and mysterious organic structures in Papermation. Quilt-maker Sherri Wood and animator Ignacio Alcantara collaborate on Sewing for Jesus as they animate the making of a quilt that honors the missing American and Iraqi citizens who have died in the Iraq War. Young students from the Croatian animators workshop SAF Cakovec Studio create a darkly funny animation of two characters and their mishaps in We’ve All Fallen From Mars. Comic illustrator Lilli Carré creates a high-wire act of sleepy time bears, black crows, and senior folk in For the Birds.
