Lilli Carré

Filmes

Glazing
Director
An short but sweet animation of the female nude, embodying all of her forms throughout the history of art. Her body twists and gnarls itself into these static poses, but she cannot be contained. In perpetual motion, she is released from her form and allowed to finally stare back at us.
Roy's World: Barry Gifford's Chicago
Animation
Author Barry Gifford's gritty autobiographical stories of growing up in 1950s Chicago provide the backdrop for an impressionistic documentary portrait of a vanished time and place.
Private Properties
Director
A living room shrinks only to expand again in this morphing animation. The skilful line work reveals a cupboard, a door lock and a tap, but also personal items transitioning – increasingly urgently – into one another. Lilli Carré, whose graphic novels are published by Fantagraphics, created a forensic investigation of a private space which can continually change shape.
Tap Water
Director
Everything leaks at least a little.
Jill
Director
Jill builds on the history of the rebellious cartoon body. Set in a plain white room reminiscent of a gallery space or testing laboratory, an acousmatic voice interacts with Jill through a series of commands. Jill shows the wear and tear of slapstick, maintaining dents on a body that seems to feel no pain. The piece speaks to power dynamics between creator and creation, recalling one of the earliest animations, Gertie the Dinosaur.
Swap Meet
Background Designer
A collaborative experiment between 14 artists around the globe. Each artist creates a background, All backgrounds are traded randomly, and then animated upon freely.

Crux Film
Director
Precarious and fluid arrangements constantly interrupt one another in a montage of waiting, anticipating, and transitioning forms. Arrangements of marks and geometric forms are faced with unresolved states. Objects struggle to maintain their shape, stay upright, or avoid disappearing. "Crux Film" is an animation composed of segments of work by Lilli Carré and Alexander Stewart. Created over the course of several weeks in shared studio spaces, these simple animated segments developed directly in response to one another; ideas, images, challenges and structures ping-ponging back and forth between the two animator’s light boxes.
How She Slept at Night
Director
A man tries to remember his wife but only comes up with scant details as his memory starts to stray.
