Bridging the worlds of children's television and avant-garde, and of geometric abstraction and avant-Gondry playfulness, Al Jarnow creates witty, mesmerizing animations that twist and squeeze time and space. This program presents seventeen of Jarnow's remarkable works, including the psychedelic Edward Lear adaptation THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT (1968), the long and winding road movie AUTOSONG (1976), the stop-motion beachcomb SHORELINES (1977), the eons-in-minutes fable COSMIC CLOCK (1979), and the time-lapse tour de force CELESTIAL NAVIGATION (1984), along with a new half-hour documentary in which Jarnow guides us through his creative methods. Presented in collaboration with The Numero Group. DigiBeta video. (MR).
