DESCRIPTION:\n	In 1956\, the artistic team and married couple John and Fait
 h Hubley vowed to make one artwork a year “for themselves” amidst all the 
 other work they produced for hire\; amazingly\, they stuck to this commitm
 ent for nearly 20 years. The films they made together broke the mold: avan
 t-garde yet accessible\, thoughtful\, vibrant animations that delighted bo
 th the youngest viewers and the most sophisticated critics. John had worke
 d for Disney\, and then moved to the innovative mid-century animation stud
 io UPA\, before starting his own studio\, Storyboard. Faith\, an artist an
 d activist who traveled the world\, was trained in studio film production.
  Many of their films were collaborations with renowned musicians—including
  Benny Carter\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and Quincy Jones—and some featured John 
 and Faith’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 Muse
 um is pleased to present an all-ages program of eight shorts by the Hubley
 s\, in 35mm prints struck by Cinema Conservancy on the occasion of John Hu
 bley’s centenary in 2014.\n	\n\n\n	Total running time: 70 mins. All presen
