Eyeworks Festival of
Experimental Animation
The Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation, founded in 2010, is an annual festival that showcases abstract animation and unconventional character animation. Eyeworks, called “tightly-curated…essential viewing every year” by Cine-File.info, returns to Pioneer Works for the seventh year.
The 2019 Eyeworks Festival at Pioneer Works will feature two curated programs, each a mix of classic and recently restored films, works from rising names in the field, and premieres of new works.
“Eyeworks fuses the finest boundary-obliterating animations from past masters and contemporary virtuosos. An annual mind-melding cinematic spectacle not to be missed.”
—John Klacsmann, Anthology Film Archives
“The Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation is an indispensable survey of the genre. Every year Alexander Stewart and Lilli CarrĂ© amaze with programming that brings together new talent, less-known work by established masters, and forgotten gems that deserve to be seen in a new light.”
—Josh Mabe, Cine-File.info
