Experience a miniature history of stop motion animation in this shorts program. Though stop motion animation could be created to depict just about anything, filmmakers often revisit similar subjects. In these shorts which range from the 1920s to the 1980s, we see how stop motion caters to imaginative scenarios, such as fairy tales and fantasy, as well as its potential usage for experimental film. 1919’s The Ornament of the Lovestruck Heart feels like seeing the birth of a new artform, while shorts like Starewicz’ The Frogs Who Wanted a King, and Harryhausen’s The Story of Little Red Riding Hood flesh out the medium’s possibilities as a way to transmit fables and fairy tales. While the short from George Pal, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, is a Seussian fable, Frank Film is an experimental, psychedelic odyssey of stop motion. Finally, we come back to one of stop motion’s most important figures, Starewicz, in his mini-epic, The Magic Clock. A little-seen 45 minute exploration of a multitude of stop motion techniques, in which Starewicz seemingly exhausts the possibility of the artform.
