Join us for Eyeworks Experimental Animation Series 2025! This year's LA festival features three programs, starting with a screening of animations by James J.A. Mercer at 3pm. At 5:30pm and 8pm, we follow with two different shorts programs of experimental work. Check the Eyeworks website for details: https://www.eyeworksfestival.com/ ∆ The Eyeworks Experimental Animation Screening Series is an annual festival focusing on experimental animation, with screening events in Chicago, LA, and NY each fall. Eyeworks spotlights works made by individual artists, drawing on the tradition of classic cartoon animation and the lineages of avant-garde and underground cinema. The aim of Eyeworks, now in its 14th year, is to present works that celebrate animation as an experimental art form. Past guests with retrospective screenings have included David OReilly, Lori Damiano, Nancy Andrews, Caleb Wood, Takeshi Murata, Martin Arnold, Jacolby Satterwhite, Naoyuki Tsuji, Janie Geiser, Laura Harrison, Barry Doupé, Al Jarnow, and Yoriko Mizushiri. The 2025 program features a screening with James J.A. Mercer at 2220 Arts + Archives in Los Angeles. Eyeworks is curated by Alexander Stewart and Lilli Carré, and is presented by Pioneer Works.
