As part of After School Special: The 2022 School of Visual Arts Alumni Film & Animation Festival, we are pleased to present a screening of the Disney•Pixar animated film Turning Red (2022), followed by a Q&A with the some of the film’s animators and artists, all of whom graduated from SVA. Guests include Ivo Kos (MFA 1991 Computer Art), Anthony Muscarella (BFA 2019 Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects), David S. Peng (MFA 2000 Computer Art), and Jenna Spurlock (BFA 2019 Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects).  Current SVA student Daria DelMonico (BFA 2024 Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects) will moderate the Q&A.
