Time/Date TBA, Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts, Michigan Tech

Three years in the making, And We Were Young is a stop-motion animated oral history of American soldiers in France in the last days of the Great War, performed entirely by black-paper puppets and filmed in Super 8 against translucent paper backgrounds. Brooding, brutal and hauntingly beautiful, Smetanka’s feature debut is a vision of war from the perspective of the American Doughboys who fought it.
