Film Puppet Dreams do come true
Posted by Helen Herbst on Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 6:24 PM
This weekend the Center for Puppetry Arts welcomes Handmade Puppet Dreams III, the third installment of the successful puppetry film festival presented by Heather Henson (yes, Jim Henson's daughter).
The event features 11 short films by independent puppeteers, including Miss Pussycat and Quintron's "Trixie and the Tree Trunks," Jason von Hinezmeyer’s "In Private," and more. The festival is intended to showcase these artists' talents, and the puppets performing are all handmade especially for the medium of film.
Handmade Puppet Dreams III is a part of the Center for Puppetry Arts' Film Series exploring storytelling through puppetry. The screening takes place on Saturday, June 21, at 8 p.m. at the Center for Puppetry Arts.
And for those of you who like pulling strings and putting your hands in things, submissions are currently being accepted for next year's collection of Handmade Puppet Dreams.
