INDEPENDENTLY ANIMATED: BILL PLYMPTON

May 27 – 28, 2011

Though his approach to filmmaking may be old-fashioned, his offbeat and inventive artistic sensibility is unique. This two-day program of screenings and discussions celebrates Plympton’s new book, Independently Animated.

All screenings are free with museum admission unless otherwise noted.
