Yuri Norstein: Three Tail Tales New York Performances

At Moving Image Exhibitions in New York City, *Yuri Norstein: Three Tail Tales* places the Russian animator’s hand-built worlds in dialogue with other screen artists, including Jim Henson, Lu Yang, and Todd Haynes. The presentation traces Norstein’s layered, cut-paper approach and the folk currents that run through his short-form storytelling. In a city where animation is often treated as industry, the show reads as an argument for animation as fine art and personal cinema. It offers context rather than spectacle, and that restraint is the point.
