Imagining the Author: Sofia Carrillo
Sunday, 29. 9. 2024 at 14.00 / Vetrinj mansion, big hall
This event combines the format of screening and in-depth Q&A.
The artist in spotlight is Sofia Carrillo, a well-known Mexican animator, whose films demonstrate immersive, magnetic, and sensual relationship between the creator and the found objects. Toys, cult figurines, or useful appliances are infused with soul, and so they can graciously wander across broken, fractured, and distorted environments. Sofia Carrillo is a mentor of stop motion animation phase at the “Workshot 2.0: Transhumanism” at the 14th StopTrik IFF.
