Animal Collective’s In the Flowers, Directed by Abigail Portner
In the Flowers is a music video off of Animal Collective's most recent record "Meriweather Post Pavilion." Like their music, it is a collage of animation, drawings and 8mm film. Everyone needs to escape sometimes, either inside their head or out into nature. This video is a stream of images and ideas about escaping and then returning, always excited to be home.

Things That Smell Like Things That Aren't OK; 99¢ Travelogue; After You Leave, Trio of films directed by Molly Schwartz, New York Premiere
Things That Smell Like Things That Aren't OK
An old joke as rumination on political gossip featuring banananimation. Inspired by the constant rumors, scuttlebutt and outright lies posted as news during the last election cycle—it's time to "consider the source" of what we hear.
99¢ Travelogue
A 99 second animated video travelogue gliding through a conveyor-belt-animated, eerily compressed world built of plastic animals, construction paper drawings, erasers forests, and brightly colored synthetics from the densely crowded 99¢ store landscape.
After You Leave
We thought the conflict of the neighborhood existed in the realm of construction, rent increases and population explosion, but there is another offensive underway…the mute struggle of the linden, ash, gingko and plane tree. This project documents a silent war: the War of the Trees. Here we see the trees’ stoic refusal to submit to the dominating infrastructure–aggressive constriction and unremitting subjugation by the sidewalks, fences, buildings and decorative borders in this arboreal battle zone.
