Sincerely, Joe P. Bear

Matt McCormick | USA | 2000 | 4' |

Polar bears, ice queens, lost love… appropriated news clips from the 1960s combine with hand-painted film to tackle the momentous issue of how polar bears cope with heartbreak and rejection. McCormick, based in Portland, Oregon, is organiser of Peripheral Produce, a spontaneous-screening series and distributor of experimental film.
