Early American Computer Animation

This programme (curated by Gregory Kurcewicz) of early American computer animation features work by film-makers such as Lillian Schwartz, John Stehura and John Whitney.

The development of the computer as an animation tool inspired a period of radical innovation in techniques and visual form. By the late 60s, there were a number of film-makers using the new 'dream machines' as their medium, often exploring new aesthetics that had no precursor in the history of cinema. This programme (curated by Gregory Kurcewicz) features work by film-makers such as Lillian Schwartz, John Stehura and John Whitney, who overcame the constraints of low memory and primitive interfaces to create works of eye-popping beauty.
