Animated Films: An International History

Catalog description

The animated film allows artists to directly share dreams and visions with a wider audience. While feature-film cel-based (and now often digitally rendered) cartoons have long dominated animation in the United States, other genres (including paper animation, clay animation and various experimental forms) have enjoyed popular acceptance in other countries. Through lectures, discussions, and screenings, this course will trace historic innovations in the design, technical, and narrative aspects of film animation throughout the world.
