Celestial Navigations: The Short Films of Al Jarnow

Al Jarnow
“Tens of millions of people have seen these films. Nobody knows who made them.”

Come join us at the Red Vic Movie House on Thursday, April 22nd at 7 and 9pm for a screening of Al Jarnow’s incredible work, plus a Q & A with Al after each screening.

Celestial Navigations, the Numero Group’s recent release, includes 45 films
restored from the original 16mm prints with fully remastered sound. Special
features include a 30-minute documentary on Jarnow’s creative process, as
well as a 60-page book loaded with essays, ephemera, storyboards, photos, and more.

Beginning with his work for Sesame Street, Al Jarnow captured life’s scientific minutia and boiled it down for easy consumption. Using time-lapse, stop motion, and cel animation with simple objects found in every day life, Jarnow deconstructed the world for an entire generation.
