"Anti-Arktikos" Premiere at CTC

Anti-Arktikos
Written and Created by Judith Mogul
Cinematographer and Editor: Jarrod Whaley
Music and Sound Design: Bob Stagner & Dennis Palmer
Combining live action and stop motion animation, puppets and children, Anti-Arktikos follows the adventures of a young girl named "Momo" and her penguin friend "Pipi" in a land first identified by Greek geographers. Believing that a large continent existed at the "bottom" of the world, to balance the land that they knew about, early Greeks named this place "Anti-Arktikos".
Constructed primarily of paper, Judith Mogul's puppets and sets are brought vividly to life by the cinematography of Jarrod Whaley and the soundscape created by musicians Dennis Palmer and Bob Stagner.
Based on a dream by the artist herself, the film is set in a fantastical landscape of paper-sculpted glaciers--inhabited by demons, shamans, and a skeptical colony of penguins. Multiple layers of reality co-exist, as we travel from two- to three-dimensional animation and storytelling.

This thing is 100% kid-friendly; kids were one audience Judy had in mind. There are even a couple of three-year-olds in it.
