Masterclass with Lewis Klahr

In this "masterclass" in conjunction with our monthlong retrospective of his work, filmmaker Lewis Klahr leads a shot-by-shot tour through one of his best-known animations, Pony Glass (1997, 14 mins.), which he also introduces in the May 6 screening.

Through Klahr's signature method of collage animation, the film chronicles the anxiety-filled sexual awakening of Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen. You'll get a deep level of insight into the film's themes and imagery, as well as the techniques and materials used by this remarkable artist. Klahr's work has been featured in three Whitney Biennials, among many other exhibitions and received numerous honors. Pony Glass is part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
