Happy Birthday Cecile Starr!

A big warm Happy Birthday to Cecile Starr on her 90th year on planet earth.
Best known for her book Experimental Animation co-written with Robert Russett. She has been a guiding light in the weird world of experimental filmmaking. As a teacher, writer and promoter of this obscure artform she has influenced a few generations of filmmakers particularly by introducing them to exemplary filmmakers that we take for granted today – Hans Richter, Len Lye, Mary Ellen Bute, and Oskar Fischinger.

Join us in thanking her for her many years of hard work and dedication to our great love of abstract animation. Without a doubt many of us might not have been introduced to this world if it wasn’t for Cecile Starr and others like her.
