VENUE

Online via zoom

Prof. dr. Nicholas Baer and Iris Zhonga have the pleasure to invite you to the Animation Masterwork event, Crafting Animated Worlds.

Join us for this roundtable discussion organised by Iris Zhonga, our honours student as part of her Masterwork under the supervision of prof. dr. Nicholas Baer. This event is for anyone interested in hearing about animation practices and its relation to film theory and aesthetics. We are excited to have emeritus professor dr. Donald Crafton (University of Notre Dame), postdoctoral researcher dr. Erwin Feyersinger (University of Tübingen), independent scholar Tess Takahashi (Editor, Camera Obscura Journal), and 2D animator Iris Visser (Festival Programmer, Forum Groningen) who will first give short presentations on their work and field of expertise before moving into an in-depth discussion on all things animation investigating issues of embodiment, space, performance, politics and technology. During the event the audience is encouraged to ask questions.

Short Bios

DR. DONALD CRAFTON

Donald Crafton is an emeritus professor in film studies at the University of Notre Dame. He received the Distinguished Career Achievement Award, the highest honour from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS), in March 2019, whereas in 2001, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named him an inaugural Academy Film Scholar. His most recent book, Shadow of a Mouse: Performance, Belief, and World-Making in Animation (2013), won the SCMS Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award of Distinction. Blending insights from film theory, film history, and performance studies, Crafton opens up intriguing new perspectives on animation and interrogates issues of audiovisual style, embodiment, affect, politics, and production.

DR. ERWIN FEYERSINGER

Erwin Feyersinger is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Susanne Marschall’s team (Chair of Film, Television and Audiovisual Media) at the University of Tübingen and director of the Center for Animation Research. His doctoral thesis Metalepsis in Animation: Paradoxical Transgressions of Ontological Levels, has received the Award of Excellence from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research and the Roland Faelske-Preis from the University of Hamburg and the Roland Faelske Foundation. Erwin Feyersinger’s research focuses on audiovisual media, especially on animation, on live-action film, on television, on pre-cinematic moving images, and on data visualization.

TESS TAKAHASHI

Tess Takahashi is a Toronto-based scholar, writer, and programmer who focuses on experimental moving image arts. She is currently working on two books, Impure Film: Medium Specificity and the North American Avant-Garde (1968-2008), which examines artists’ work with historically new media, and On Magnitude, which considers artists’ work against the backdrop of Big Data. She is a member of the experimental media programming collective Ad Hoc and the editorial collective for Camera Obscura: Feminism, Culture, and Media. Her research focuses on the historical and discursive construction of technologies of the image including photography, celluloid film, television, video, animation, and digital media.
