On February 1st, 2010, the DePaul Animation program in Chicago hosted an animation masterclass by legendary Russian animator Yuri Norstein. Mr. Norstein is the creator of many internationally beloved films, including Hedgehog in the Fog and Tale of Tales, widely regarded as one of the greatest animations of all time. In the masterclass he demonstrated his cutout animation process using an original puppet from Hedgehog in the Fog.
Yuri Norstein’s visit was co-sponsored by DePaul’s School of Cinematic Arts Visiting Artist Series, the Department of History, and the Department of Modern Languages. Translation was provided by Sonja Dekhtyar.
