Women In Animation circa 1987
- Here are two articles that appeared in a 1987 issue of Sightlines Magazine, which was a quarterly publication of the American Film & Video Assn. (formerly the Educational Film Library.)
- The first article is by by Cecile Starr on women animators. Cecile has written extensively over a long period on experimental animation. (I have a fine book, co-authored by her and George Griffin, called Frames which gives images from many experimental short films of the 70′s & 80′s.)
This article talks about women in animation, though most of those discussed are more the Independent animator than the studio employee. It remains an interesting item.
- The second article by John Canemaker features Snow White at age 50. (The film is now 70!) John talks about the female character of Snow White, and it makes for a short interesting piece.
