Animation of the Unconsciousness: CalArts and the Teachings of Jules Engel

Presented as part of Pacific Standard Time and co-presented with Los Angeles Filmforum

An evening of work by Jules Engel (1909—2003), the founder and director of the CalArts Film Graphics Program (later called “Experimental Animation”), who fostered the emergence of a new form of animation–freewheeling, transgressive, and imaginative. Also on the program are works by Kathy Rose, Adam Beckett and other students carrying on Engel’s legacy.

Pacific Standard Time is an unprecedented collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene. Initiated through grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will take place for six months beginning October 2011. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.
