The Cosmic Eye
Three beings arrive on Earth and are disturbed by what they see. Co-curated with EIFF Animation programmer, Iain Gardner, Faith Hubley’s The Cosmic Eye is a rarely screened gem. Featuring the voice of jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie as Father Time, Hubley’s first and only solo feature is a fantastic psychedelic animation, featuring the music of Benny Carter, and drawing on the award-winning work she had previously done with her husband, John Hubley, who died in 1977.
