Resurrecting Reality: Animating Non-Fiction
Led by Kelly Gallagher
This workshop seeks to explore and expand animation’s radical potential, demonstrating the power and possibility of animating non-fiction. Live-action cinema cannot always accurately capture and share our lived experiences, histories, thoughts, emotions, and ways of seeing and understanding. Animation is a dynamic space in which reality can be more accurately and excitedly explored. This workshop seeks to rupture and disrupt common misconceptions that animation is best suited for fiction. To animate is to breathe life into—something that is “animated” is therefore “full of life.” What better mode of filmmaking to explore the complexities of life itself.

Over the course of three days, workshop participants will discuss and think through the expansive possibilities that animation lends to exploring and sharing non-fiction stories and experiences. Various modes and techniques of animation will also be discussed and explored. This comprehensive workshop will include screenings, hands-on animation workshops, critique sessions, conversations, and presentations by incredible filmmakers and animators creating the most compelling non-fiction animation in the field, including: Ng’endo Mukki, Carrie Hawks, Signe Baumane, and Richard O’Connor.

Designed by filmmaker and animator Kelly Gallagher, this workshop will provide conceptual and theoretical grounding, creative inspiration, technical and hands-on animation experience, and practical and concrete advice from animation artists and professionals working both independently and in the industry. Folks who have animated non-fiction works in progress are encouraged to bring them to the workshop—but participants who have never animated before (but have an extreme interest) are also encouraged to join the workshop! This intensive workshop is open to all who are interested in learning more about the power and potential of animating non-fiction.
