The Animation of Karen Aqua

On Wednesday May 30, 2012 there will be a tribute screening of the Animation of Karen Aqua at the Regent Theatre in Arlington MA to commemorate the one year anniversary of Karen's passing. The event begins at 7PM and the proceeds will benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Ursula Matulonis, who was Karen's medical oncologist, will be hosting the event along with Karen's husband, Ken Field. It is suggested that you purchase advance tickets: http://regenttheatre.com/details/animation_by_karen_aqua

Since 1976, Karen Aqua created animated films exploring the themes of ritual, journeys, transformation, and the human spirit. Much of her work reflects an interest in symbols, mythology, and prehistoric and tribal cultures, and includes elements of rhythm, dance, and music. Her award-winning films have been screened nationally and internationally, at film festivals, museums, and universities. Aqua’s animation appears regularly on “Sesame Street.”

I encourage all of you to go to Karen's website at http://www.karenaqua.com/ to learn more about her extraordinary contributions to cinema and art. A complete DVD compliation is also available of Karen's work. You can order it online at: http://www.microcinemadvd.com/product/DVD/1277/Animation_by_Karen_Aqua_19542011.html

We all look forward to seeing you there!
