Academy Award-winning independent animator Faith Hubley would have celebrated her 100th birthday in 2024. In partnership with her husband, John, then on her own, and finally with her daughter, Emily, Hubley created extraordinary works of abstract imagery and nonlinear stories, many drawing on themes of mythology and indigenous art. Unlike conventional hand-drawn animation where a camera takes pictures of paintings on celluloid photographed from above, she used a technique where drawings on paper were illuminated from below, giving the animation a special look. The films included here span much of her solo career, while dipping into her work with her husband and her daughter.
