GFT. 12 Rose Street

3rd May, 2014 1.45 – 3.45 p.m.

This event celebrates McLaren’s contribution to experimental animation, and his influence on subsequent Glasgow School of Art students and alumni. “Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.” (Norman McLaren) 

This event, in collaboration with the Glasgow Film Theatre, celebrates McLaren’s contribution to experimental animation and his influence on subsequent Glasgow School of Art students and alumni. A fascinating and varied selection of their work is screened – from McLaren’s own abstract classic Lines Horizontal (1962) to recent graduate Ross Hogg’s The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat (2013).

The event will be introduced by Dr Sarah Smith, an authority on experimental film, and will conclude with a short Q&A with some of the included filmmakers.
