A Day in the Life: Janet Perlman

The Girl with the Red Beret / La fille au béret rouge  just received an honorable mention at the Ottawa Animation Festival! The red beret team pictured her: me, Anna McGarrigle and Judith Gruber-Stitzer.

On May 13th, 2023 I gave a master class at the Cinemathèque québécoise. I showed films, described my work process, my evolution as an artist, my influences, blew bubbles, and invited all to dance to African drums.

I’m working on Tiny Tiny Screens. Using archival educational footage, I imagine what might occur beyond the confines of the film frame. One of the highlights is a world-renowned typist who demonstrates her astonishing abilities.

This display case contains “objéts” that inspired my film “My Favorite Things that I Love”. It was installed at the Cinemathèque québécoise May 12 - June 18, 2023.
