BEGIN:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colombian Avant-Garde Animation DESCRIPTION:Join us for a stimulating screening of rarely seen expressive Colombian animation featuring powerful metaphors, surreal landscapes and haunting images. These groundbreaking experimental films utilize animation techniques ranging from rotoscoping to under-the-camera animation, capturing the imagination and challenging traditional concepts of cinema. A thought-provoking conversation will examine the role of art in the context of war and the role of the artist in politics. The discussion will feature Colombian filmmakers Cecilia Traslaviña and Carlos Santa; international media scholars Janeann Dill, Claudia Salamanca and Cristina Venegas; and USC student Juan Camilo González.\n \n Admission is free.\n \n For participant bios, visit the event page: http://web-app.usc.edu/ws/eo2/calendar/113/event/873347\n \n Organized by Sheila Sofian (Animation and Digital Arts).\n \n For further information on this event:\n visionsandvoices@usc.edu DTSTART:20110204T190000 LOCATION:NCT URL;VALUE=URI: DTEND:20110204T210000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
