DESCRIPTION:\n	The screening on December 11 will be introduced by Ray Huble
 y \n\n\n	In 1956\, the artistic team and married couple John and Faith Hub
 ley vowed to make one artwork a year “for themselves” amidst all the other
  work they produced for hire\; amazingly\, they stuck to this commitment f
 or nearly 20 years. The films they made together broke the mold: avant-gar
 de yet accessible\, thoughtful\, vibrant animations that delighted both th
 e youngest viewers and the most sophisticated critics. John had worked for
  Disney\, and then moved to the innovative mid-century animation studio UP
 A\, before starting his own studio\, Storyboard. Faith\, an artist and act
 ivist who traveled the world\, was trained in studio film production. Many
  of their films were collaborations with renowned musicians—including Benn
 y Carter\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and Quincy Jones—and some featured John and F
 aith’s children: Emily and Georgia putting on a play in A Windy Day\, and 
 Mark and Ray attempting to recapture a lost pet in Moonbird. The Museum is
  pleased to present an all-ages program of eight shorts by the Hubleys\, i
 n 35mm prints struck by Cinema Conservancy on the occasion of John Hubley’
 s centenary in 2014. \n\n\n	Total running time: 70 mins. All presented in 
 35mm. \n\n\n	Adventures of an * (asterisk) \n	\n	A joyful rumination on th
 e value of art in modern life\, set to an original score by jazz legend Be
 nny Carter. (1956\, 11 mins.) \n\n\n	Moonbird \n	\n	Against an enchanted n
 octurnal backdrop\, two young brothers set out on an adventure to recaptur
 e a lost pet bird. (1959\, 10 mins.) \n\n\n	The Hat \n	\n	Built on the imp
 rovised collaboration—both verbal and musical—of Dizzy Gillespie and Dudle
 y Moore\, this meditation on world history and the folly of war tells the 
 story of two soldiers patrolling a cold and forlorn border\, deep in a nuc
 lear winter. (1964\, 18 mins.) \n\n\n	Urbanissimo \n	\n	A charming parable
  about urban design and global thinking\, set to a playful composition by 
 longtime Hubley collaborator Benny Carter. (1967\, 6 mins.) \n\n\n	Eggs \n
 	\n	Mother Nature bickers with Death over control of humankind\, before a 
 fateful decision is made. Music by Quincy Jones. (1970\, 10 mins.) \n\n\n	
 Of Men and Demons \n	\n	A simple fisherman faces the challenges posed by c
 limate and modernity\, personified by three resourceful demons\, in this s
 pirited and painterly fable. Music by Quincy Jones. (1968\, 9 mins.) \n\n
 \n	A Windy Day \n	\n	Two young sisters share a languid summer day along th
 e shoreline of looming adolescence\, playing\, squabbling and parsing life
 \, love and mortality. (1968\, 9 mins.) \n\n\n	The Tender Game \n	\n	Boy m
 eets Girl in Central Park: this visually resplendent reading of an age-old
  story draws deep emotion from its extraordinary musical score of Ella Fit
 zgerald and the Oscar Peterson Trio performing “Tenderly.” (1958\, 6 mins.
