Urban angst and a subversive wit infuse these short works by Laura Heit, a graduate of the School of the Art Institute and a former puppeteer for Redmoon Theater who's now codirector of experimental animation at California Institute of the Arts. In
Parachute (1997) a young woman is almost literally swallowed up by downtown chaos;
Look for Me (2005) is a meditative fantasy on invisibility; and the poignant puppet film
The Amazing, Mysterious & True Story of Mary Anning and Her Monsters (2003) focuses on an amateur British paleontologist who preceded Charles Darwin. Heit will attend the screening and perform
The Matchbox Show, a multimedia piece using live video projection of cutouts and line drawings.
