The Toe Tactic Series: New Directors/New Films [March 26 - April 6, 2008] Director: Emily Hubley, Country: USA, Release: 2008, Runtime: 85 Mona Peek is a young woman engulfed by loss. Her father has passed away, her wallet disappears, and those around her are on their own. Through the nimble creativity of animator Emily Hubley, we discover a layered world of live action and illustrated images. Mona’s life, her grieving and searching, and the lives of those in her neighborhood are manipulated by four capricious dogs playing a game of cards. Winsome newcomer Lily Rabe, joined by the voices of Eli Wallach, Marian Seldes, Andrea Martin and David Cross, melds with the animated forms that push, pull and caress the film’s flesh-and-blood cohabitants through a journey of renewal. The unique kinetic flow of Hubley’s remarkable feature debut is enhanced by the music of the equally innovative band, Yo La Tengo. Sat Mar 29: 6:00pm (WRT) Mon Mar 31: 9:00pm (MoMA) The daughter of pioneer animators Faith and John Hubley, Emily Hubley has been making animated shorts for 30 years. The Toe Tactic is her feature debut. She is the sister of Yo La Tengo drummer Georgia Hubley.
