MEMORIA(L) This beautifully animated documentary takes us back to Memorial Day, 1937, when Chicago police killed ten striking steelworkers. How do we remember this history? 9 min; Animation, Archival; 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/4775d61f-003f-414a-8c43-a7c199b669af/IanKelly_Headshot2021.png Portfolio - ARTIST STATEMENT As a director of animated documentaries, I use the unique qualities of the animated form to enliven stories of personal and historical memory. My own close familial relationship with memory loss helped me to form an understanding of memory as something precious and ephemeral. I believe that the preservation and recitation of memories is an act with great societal and political significance — one that activates our relationship to the past as a presence rather than an inert artifact. My practice aligns the formal qualities of animation with characteristics of memory including fragmentation, transformation, and an emphasis on sensory details. By emphasizing animation’s inherent subjectivity, I invite the audience to consider how fantasy and performance also shape memory. My practice is one of considered transformation of actual images. I heavily rely on recorded footage and still images as the basis for my animated images. From these source materials I rotoscope the subjects — transforming the image into an animated reproduction. This process of manipulation and variation of the source suggests how reproduction distorts reality. I often use analogue techniques, such as direct animation on film leader, in combination with advanced digital animation in 2D and 3D software. These practices create uniquely styled animations, which deepen the stories and memories they are representing. My artist practice is always rooted in the desire to tell meaningful, emotional, stories which bring the present moment into conversation with the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/1602529121426-E9WZSV3D7NDHLFA1LIS9/Car_Gif.gif Portfolio - EDDIE An animated documentary about Dr. Eddie Henderson: jazz trumpet player, figure skater, M.D. 9 min; animation; 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/25a67c45-fd5b-43a4-9312-d76f712d284f/THERE+WAS+WATER+ONCE.00_00_23_21.Still001.png Portfolio - THERE WAS WATER ONCE In the year 2101, a sentient AI imagines what water was. 3 min; 16mm; 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/384a6b64-4147-45f4-a7d3-af7c16d2cefd/cbca2.png Portfolio - The Celebrity Bowling Christmas Album An attempt to recreate the ephemeral after an unforgettable encounter with a unique record. 3 min; Audio; 2022 https://www.iankellyfilms.com/home daily 1.0 2023-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/0e64abc2-3176-4509-bdc9-f1d259ddc4b6/SLASS_GIF_NOTEXT_1-min.gif HOME - FILMS FILMS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/595fcb6d6a49632afb7f8e04/72531b7a-d29d-42a1-af02-d135c7262226/FORGIF_1-min.gif HOME - CLIENT WORK https://www.iankellyfilms.com/reel daily 0.75 2023-10-09
