Prairie Puppet Underground
March 13 5:30 pm
Cash at door only, no latecomers
A mysterious corpse, a T-Rex romance, a Perpetual Motion machine….
Inspired by a screening of Heather Henson’s Handmade Puppet Dreams at our 2011 festival, multi-disciplinary artist Chrystene Ells embarked on a year-long experiment in puppet filmmaking with established and emerging artists. Working in Regina’s new Underground Puppet-Film Works at the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative in Regina, filmmakers explored live-action puppet techniques and drew on Saskatchewan history from the Prairie History Room at the Regina Public Library. That labour bears fruit in Ells’ curated collection of strange, dark, comedic and lovely new puppet films, that delve into family secrets, First Nation legends, and the powerful pull of the prairies. Filmmakers Chrystene Ells & Berny Hi in attendance.
