Artist Signe Baumane is one of the few filmmakers to have had two short films play the Chlotrudis Short Film Festival in different years. Many will remember NATASHA from the 3rd Annual Short Film Festival, about a lonely housewife who shares a special bond with her vacuum cleaner. Then last year at the 5th Short Film Festival, she returned with WOMAN. Now you can see these and eight other films by Signe on her newly released DVD, 10 ANIMATED FILMS BY SIGNE BAUMANE.
Baumane was born in Latvia, educated in Russia and has been working in the U.S. since 1995. After extensive work in film and illustration in Europe, she began an extensive collaboration with artist Bill Plympton. Her films are filled with whimsy and myth… and quite a bit of sexuality as well. Visit Signe’s website for more information about the woman and her work.
