Screening March 2013 – March 2014
Opening: First Thursday, March 7, 2013 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Ryan Fedyk’s innovative animation techniques create dynamic cinematographic spaces for his surreal narratives. In these films solitary protagonists struggle to find meaningful human connections and make sense of Kafkaesque surroundings. Fedyk will present Travesty City, an animated story about a waiter who fills his role "with style and precision" on e4c. Travesty City describes the disconnect between personal life and work life. How does identity transition between the two and how do we value each independently. Fedyk created this work using cell animation, paper cut-out animation and computer generated imagery.
