Okay, so Wirework is not an animated film, but it deals with the fundamental concerns of animation so clearly and directly that it I had to include it as part of this program. Don't miss a chance to see Rudnick's rotating wire sculptures in person if you can!

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex? The camera records distractions - a woman rides horseback past them; a garrulous homeless vet who sleeps in the park chats them up. What's the nature of making a movie?

Whitney Wolfe uses extraordinary grit and ingenuity to break into the male-dominated tech industry.
