Walk for Walk: Animated Works by Amy Lockhart
Wednesday September 20, 2006
9 PM  at the Cinematheque
Main floor, Artspace Building
100 Arthur Street, Winnipeg, Canada
Admission:  Free

The animated works of Amy Lockhart exemplify the homey charm and naïve humour of do-it-yourself animation.  Films in this program span the artist’s 7-year animation practice and include her most recent animation, an epic non-linear narrative, Walk for Walk and the wildly popular Miss Edmonton Teenburger series.  Whimsical and absurd, the animated films and videos in this program speak of innocence, dreams and hope. This program is presented in conjunction with the IMAA Conference, September 20-23, 2006.

Amy Lockhart is a filmmaker, animator and artist.  She has attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, completed an artist residency at the Quickdraw Animation Society and a fellowship at the National Film Board. Amy has received international acclaim, speaking and exhibiting her work at various art institutions, including The California Institute of the Arts, where she was recently the artist in residence.
