Wednesday’s Juror Presentation highlighted the video and animation amalgamations of Emily Hubley. "Pigeon Within," one of the three shorts AAFF screened on Day 2 of the fest, is a short animation in which hand-drawn characters and objects move through empty city streets created with still photographs.
Drawn animations give vibrancy to the details that may otherwise go unnoticed, like a bird perched on a trashcan or a metronome on a coffee table. In each of the three films, Hubley's interesting characters question ideas of longing for a home and longing for companionship in a world where those comforts can sometimes be elusive. - Katie Barkel (festival volunteer/Michigan filmmaker)
