   High Light/Low Light features new work by MFA students in the John C. Hench Division of Animation & Digital Arts. The installations and videos were created for the Fall 2009 “Contemporary Topics in Animation” class taught by Hench-DADA adjunct faculty Larissa Bank.

  The work on display in High Light/Low Light stresses animation as a fertile terrain for experimentation. The screening location and tactics are dependent upon the content. The gallery space and installation genre replaces the traditional theater format for presentation. The intent is to explore alternative ways to make animated films visible, to communicate with a different (art-going) public, and to encourage audience discussion and interaction in ways that the theater model does not foster.

The Animated Show of Shows was created by Diamond to give greater exposure to exceptional animated shorts that normally would receive only very limited, if any, distribution. Often these works are at the cutting edge of animation, pushing creative boundaries and using the latest technologies to achieve groundbreaking results. The Animated Show of Shows provides an opportunity for animation professionals and other artists to see these films, opening a window onto the most interesting and creative work being done around the world.As in previous years, the 2009 program features films in a variety of styles from all over the world, most of which have won awards at major festivals.
