Collection Playlist: Film No. 11 (Mirror Animations) & Something Between Us

Jodie Mack is an experimental animator who received her MFA in film, video, and new media from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. Her films study domestic and recycled materials to illuminate the elements shared between fine-art abstraction and mass-produced graphic design. The works unleash the kinetic energy of overlooked and wasted objects and question the role of decoration in daily life. She has presented solo programs at the 25FPS Festival, Anthology Film Archives, BFI London Film Festival, Harvard Film Archive, National Gallery of Art, REDCAT, and International Film Festival Rotterdam, among others. Mack is an associate professor of animation at Dartmouth College.

Harry Smith was a visual artist, experimental filmmaker, record collector, bohemian, mystic, largely self-taught student of anthropology, and Neo-Gnostic bishop as well as an important figure in the Beat Generation scene in New York. Besides his films, Smith is also widely known for his influential Anthology of American Folk Music, drawn from his extensive collection of out-of-print commercial 78 rpm recordings.
