Shira Avni is an artist that creates interesting and challenging works that often encompass documentary techniques with animation. Using mostly under-the-camera animating practices of painting on glass and plastecine work, Shira creates layered stories that explore issues of immigration, sexuality, friendship, and ableness. Join us for an exclusive screening and discussion with Shira in person (including a sneak peak at her new NFB film!), and a full day hands-on workshop with the artist.
