Field Notes from a Rainy Day: The Animations, Meditations and One Takes of Leslie Supnet

Curated by Cecilia Araneda

Screens: Wed Oct 2, 2024 at 7 PM in Winnipeg, Canada

"In an interview in 2014, Winnipeg-based Filipinx-Canadian filmmaker Leslie Supnet described having been told by her grandfather that she learned how to draw on a rainy day: as her grandfather held her up against the window to look outside at the rain, Supnet began doodling on the window. This moment marks the beginning of an artistic journey examining grief, loss and the effects of the passage of time through paper-based animation, analogue film and digital techniques, often incorporating mystical and occult symbolism and taking experimental process turns along the way. While Supnet is widely known for the narrative animations of her first decade as a filmmaker, she has more recently taken new evolutions in animation, emerging as an artist in active exploration, consciously moving away from the familiar."
