    Six Mile Stretch

    Director: Carol Chambers
    Country of Origin: United States
    2018

    This is a hand-painted film from the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. It is an artist’s response to the last wild six mile stretch of the Bear River that is under threat of inundation from a new dam planned for the river (Centennial Dam). There is a movement in the local community to stop the dam being built to protect this last bit of wilderness along its banks. The film is an artist’s response to this beautiful place, and is dedicated to all who strive to protect the remaining wild places of our world. The film is an oil painting animation.

    Director’s Statement:

    This film is a moving painting. It utilizes a combination of old and new techniques. Some of the scenes are animated with traditional hand-painted animation, using oils on canvas and painted cels. In the background scenery, the brushstrokes are made to move with newer, computer enhanced techniques.
