In partnership with Crag Law Center we present an animated program: 2020 Visions for the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Animators from the Pacific Northwest were invited to create new works, or screen existing works, on the theme of the environment, with a focus on poetry.

Introduction by the Executive Director of Crag Law Center, Courtney Johnson.

The 25-minute program consists of eleven short films from Pacific Northwest filmmakers (listed below.) Included are films in different techniques: claypainting, digital animation, stop-motion, oil-on-canvas, felt animation, Photoshop animation, After Effects and letterpress printed directly on 35mm film stock. Animators' backgrounds range from an Academy Award winner to children in grade school. Students from the Pacific Northwest College of Art contributed four films. This is the premiere screening of six of the films.
