Four Films by Robert Ascher

This collection contains four animated films by writer, educator and anthropologist, Robert Ascher. These films were created using a technique called "direct animation" -- drawing with pen and ink directly on 35mm film. Films in this compilation have been included in the permanent collection of Museum of Modern Art, the New Zealand National Art Gallery, the Jewish Museum, NYC, and the Israel Film Archive.

Please Note: These films are all narrated in the native language of the story teller. The filmmaker purposefully kept the films untranslated so viewers could focus on the sound of the language and understand the story visually.
