Daniel Sousa is an Academy Award-nominated animator who uses the themes embedded in myths and legends to examine archetypes of human nature. Born in Cape Verde, he approaches filmmaking from a painter's perspective, focusing on the fragility of fleeting moments, memories and perceptions. His short films include Feral , which was supported by a Creative Capital Foundation grant and screened at Sundance, and Fable , which won awards at festivals around the world. He recently completed animating several native legends for the four-part PBS special Native America , which weaves history and science with living indigenous traditions. Sousa has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, Harvard University, the Museum School, the Art Institute of Boston and the Animation Workshop in Denmark. |
