Akron Film+Pixel is proud to announce a
full schedule of contests, film screenings and events for late Summer
and early Fall 2012. Please see below for details about our three new
upcoming events.
Secrets of Science Animation Contest
Screening Event: Thursday, August 30,
2012
Akron Film+Pixel invites Northeast Ohio
artists to create a short animated movie that re-imagines how a given
technology or natural phenomenon works in the new filmmaking
competition “Secrets of Science.” The resulting films will be
exhibited and a winner selected on August 30, 2012 at 7 p.m. at the
Akron Art Museum.
“We anticipate entries from
experienced animators and from people trying animation for the first
time,” says Akron Film+Pixel Executive Director Steve Felix. “There
are charming low-tech ways to animate, like with cutouts or LEGO
pieces. And since all entries are screened at a fun event at the
Akron Art Museum, everyone gets something out of the contest.”
All entries will be screened at a free
event on August 30, 2012 at 7 p.m. in the Akron Art Museum’s
Charles and Jane Lehner Auditorium. Each movie will be viewed by an
independent panel of reviewers, who will select a winning entry to
receive $250 and a repeat screening at Night of the Freakishly Short
Animation Festival on October 25, 2012 at the Akron Art Museum.
Akron Musicians Create Original Score
For THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI
Screening Event: Thursday, August 16,
2012
Eighteen groups of Akron-area musicians
wrote and recorded music for separate scenes from the classic silent
film THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI for a special collaborative
project titled “The Collective Soundtrack.” Each musician, team
and/or band randomly drew a different 3-5 minute section from THE
CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI at an orientation on July 29, 2012. They
were then given two weeks to write and record their musical segment.
The resulting film with its new soundtrack will be exhibited as a
free, public event on August 16, 2012 at the Akron Art Museum.
