Alexeieff Pin Screen Animation Trailers

This is a short animation that I did on the pin screen built by Alexandre Alexeieff in Cambridge, MA while he and Clare Parker came to the U.S. to escape the Nazi occupation of Paris during WWII. This pin screen was left behind for his daughter Svetlana when he returned to Paris after the war. Svetlana let me experiment with it in 1983-84 at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University where I was teaching at the time. This is presented to honor the legacy of Jules Engel, the first animation program head at Cal Arts.

Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
