The Center for Investigative Reporting and the Center for Art and Public Life at California College of the Arts are excited to invite you to a night of animated storytelling and discussion at The New Parkway Theater in Oakland.
In partnership with CIR, the “ENGAGE: Animated Investigations” class at CCA has students from a variety of disciplines working in the realm of investigative reporting this semester to explore creative approaches to visual, fact-based storytelling.
At the Real Life, Animated event, we’ll screen original animations from the class, inspired by reporting from CIR and students’ own research. We’ll also showcase a variety of local and international documentary shorts, including: “Last Day of Freedom,” an Oscar-nominated short film by San Francisco Bay Area residents Dee Hibbert-Jones and Nomi Talisman; “Tussilago,” directed by Jonas Odell; “Muerte Blanca,” directed by Roberto Collío; and selected works from CIR.
Doors at 6 p.m.; program at 6:30 p.m.
