EPIC FALLING BETWEEN THE CRACKS
Nancy Andrews (B&W, silent, 20 minutes, 1995) with
Live Musical Accompaniment by Miss Andrews featuring the
Authentic Synchronised Film Record of the Expeditions of Frances Coco
This puppet animation, An Epic Falling Between the Cracks, presents the Voyages of Frances Coco and her dog side-kick, Lemuel as related by a documentary filmmaker through film, animation, and song. Frances, an 18 inch puppet, leaves the comfort of her shoe box bed and sets off on a series of adventures, including remote locations in outer space and underwater. "A space age, existential, Nanook of the North".
HEDWIG PAGE, SEASIDE LIBRARIAN
Nancy Andrews (B &W and Color, 16mm w/ optical sound, 35 mins., 1999)
Hedwig Page was born with an uncanny knowledge of cataloguing. She could recite Dewey Decimal categories before she could read and she could read before all else.
She obviously pities, but does not excuse, your ignorance of the Holdings of the Library.
Hedwig is the personification of applied skill, a Delphi of learning.
And, Hedwig Page has some problems.
This is the story of renowned librarian, collector and inventor, Hedwig Page.
Additional credits:
Music composition, keyboard and foley Steve Clark
Narrator: Tom Sloan
Sound Mix: Lou Mallozzi, Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago
These films were made with support of funds from the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art, supported by Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts; and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
