Marta Nesspek Presents… Live Cinema
“A delightful form of cinematic puppetry, Nesspek’s flipbook films are more than just individual pages of narrative. Each page—or perhaps film frame—holds magic. Spliced and layered to allow pop-out surprises, and magnificently alive even in black and white, Nesspek’s creations transport and enchant, behaving more like a book of spells than stories.”
- Billy McEntee, The Brooklyn Rail

Marta Nesspek Presents… takes us behind the scenes of the titular broadcast as Marta’s increasingly-existentialist performance troupe records their latest Cinematic Selection, performed live with hand-drawn pen-and-ink puppetry. Like the troupe at its center, Marta Nesspek Presents… is always on tour, presenting pop-up shows with constantly changing seasonal Cinematic Selections for intimate audiences in apartments, back rooms, and bars.
