Baumane's presentation consists of three parts. Programme I covers 14 of the artist's favourites films from both parts of \u201cAvoid Eye Conctact\u201d. These films may not be the latest ones (\u201cOne of Those Days\u201d was created in 1988); however, since animation does not age to the same extend as other film genres, they still rank among classics.<\/p>\n

Programmes II and III were prepared especially for Etiuda&Anima and include films that have never been screened at festivals before. There are some things worth pointing out here, e.g. the action of many of these animated shorts is set in weird and untypical locations, like in \u201cTerrible Alpha 9\u201d, \u201dPangs\u201d, \u201dEgg\u201d, \u201dMirage\u201d and \u201dWandering Eye\u201d. This might be explained by the fact that New York is a strange place with its own set of rules \u2013 something which is not very clear to the newcomers at first and makes them feel as if they were living on a different planet.<\/p>\n

Besides, the programme features several animations that talk about women and womanhood in a blunt, rebellious or even obscene way, e.g. \u201cTeat Beat of Sex\u201d, \u201cBoobatary\u201d, \u201dCee Cee\u2019s Bedtime Stories\u201d and \u201dEverybody\u2019s Pregnant\u201d.<\/p>\n

These three programmes show some of the best New York animated shorts created in the last 20 years. This is a unique chance to experience the mindset and lifestyle of New Yorkers and the city itself.<\/p>\n
