Alumna Nikki Lemon's Film to be Screened at 2 Film Festivals
Nikki Lemon’s MFA thesis film, Wonder, has officially been selected for screening in the Le Femme International Film Festival in Beverly Hills and the Philadelphia Film & Animation Festival in Philadelphia.
Wonder was chosen from more than 300 entries for screening in the Philadelphia festival, which runs from September 27 to 29. The film will be screened October 17– 20 in the Le Femme festival. Previously, Wonder made its premiere at Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival, August 6-11. Lemon made Wonder as part of her MFA studies in the Department of Design’s Digital Animation and Interactive Media program in collaboration with the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD). She completed her MFA in 2012.
Wonder is a short animated film about finding the fantastic within the mundane. It is about creating wonder through imagination and letting yourself believe in the impossible by embracing your inner child. An urban cityscape comes to life as Sage realizes that she, like the rest of us, only needs a small spark to ignite a playful sense of wonder and adventure.
