<p><strong>Expanded Animation: New Directions in Chinese Animation</strong><br />
Friday, April 24, 2015 at 7PM at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston<br />
Filmmakers Lei Lei and Chai Mi will appear in person for Q&A</p>
<p class="p2">With the spread of digital technology and state-sponsored campaigns to grow China’s creative industry, young moving image practitioners in China have been developing new works that engage with the private sector, the art world, and the global film festival circuit, expanding the form and experience of animation in the world.</p>
<p class="p2">Exploring this diversified wave in recent production, Expanded Animation: New Directions in Chinese Animation presents a showcase of recent animated works from a mix of visual artists, filmmakers, and independent/experimental animators, most of whom were born after 1980. Their practices stem from stop-motion, print-making, hand-made collage, ink, painting, graphic design, and digital algorithm.</p>
<p class="p2">Balagan and Crows & Sparrows, two Boston-based film series, co-present this program, which highlights the work of the award-winning Beijing-based artist Lei Lei. The works presented explore a variety of personal, artistic, and political subject matter, and represent the breadth of recent innovation in animation practice in China.</p>
<p class="p2">Total running time: 75 minutes + Q&A</p>
<p class="p2">Tickets: $10 regular / $5 students and ICA members</p>
