Personalityshow: Jim Lacy Thursday 24th January 2013, 22.00
Jim Lacy loves animation, or better: Everything that can be animated. The Texas-born Hamburg resident by choice and animation filmmaker is one of the most significant animation film artists in Germany. In 2001, he founded the animation studio STOPTRICK with Kathrin Albers in Hamburg and since then persues it with great success. Besides the prizewinning short films 'Die schiefe Bahn', 'Peters Prinzip' and 'Rattenskat' he also has produced many well-known and also award winning promotion films. That the famous director started his career with Super8, that he is one of the co-founders of the Allnizo-Screenings in Hamburg in the 90s, is almost forgotten today.
The dresdner schmalfilmtage present the first retrospective show where apart from his current films also early Super8 animation films are brought to the screen.
