Daphne Rosenthal

Daphne Rosenthal stands at the crossroads of experimental film and fine art. Manipulating different materials and using animation and puppet techniques, she explores their movements and textures evoking tangible sensations. Moods constantly emerge from and dissolve into their surroundings. Rosenthal lives and works in Amsterdam and studied at the Rietveld Academie (BFA 2008, Gerrit Rietveld Prize for Best Film and Video 2008). Also, she has strong ties with Los Angeles where she studied at Calarts (MFA Experimental Animation 2014). Her work has been shown at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Hawick, Scotland - Museo Universitario del Chopo, Mexico City - Mediamatic, Amsterdam - Quartier 21, Vienna - Nest, The Hague - Swedenborg Film Festival, London - Experiments in Cinema, Albuquerque - Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles. In 2018 Rosenthal received a development grant from the AFK for a project exploring clay, ceramics, moving image and non-anthropocentric worlds. She returns for this project to her old love animation.
