Twelve family-friendly narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated films. Features a young stag who seeks to improvise sweet music, organic forms that shift and undulate, the evolutionary life of an organism, a girl seeking her identity in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, abstractions of form and color, found adventures and forgotten homes, a re-imagination of a common brick's utilitarian form, animated shapes and textures that dance together, a woman who impulsively steals a goat from a petting zoo and more.
In the cutout animation Xylophone, we follow the path of a sleep-deprived pregnant woman, ambivalent towards the routines of middle class life, who, along with her rambunctious daughter, impulsively steals a goat from a petting zoo. Chaos and freedom ensue.
