Join us at the Crosby Street Hotel in Soho for a special evening with animator Henry Selick.
Henry Selick—the stop-motion animator who cites Ray Harryhausen and Lotte Reiniger among his influences—will discuss his career and show clips from his films, including Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and James and the Giant Peach, in a conversation moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz. Selick's work is characterized by its emotional and textural richness, and by its adherence to the physicality and hand-made quality of stop-motion animation.
The Crosby Street Hotel is located at 79 Crosby Street (between Spring and Prince), Manhattan.
And, the next evening, November 19, you can catch Coraline (in 3D) followed by a Q&A with Henry Selick at the Directors Guild Theatre. More info here.
