Steven Subotnick
Steven SUBOTNICK (1956, US) is an American animation teacher and animator. He has been making independent animation films since 1985. Steven’s animations are condensed and poetic. Through an experimental and iterative process of making and editing, he explores resonances found in subjects as diverse as history, science, evolution and religion. Sound is an essential part of his filmmaking. He crafts tracks in order to give voice to the images, and it is the combination of image and sound which creates the film’s full identity. His films have been screened in festivals, galleries, museums and curated shows worldwide. He is the recipient of major grants and fellowships, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, an LEF Fellowship and an AFI Fellowship. His films have won such awards as the Grand Prix at the Holland Animation Film Festival and the High Risk Award at the Fantoche Animation Festival.
