Next up in our series is an interview with Çağıl Harmandar. We interviewed Çağıl at 180 Maiden Lane in the Seaport District of NYC.

Cagil is an animator and illustrator as well as a recent graduate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts.

Animation Nights New York screened Çağıl’s film “Chirps” last year, at our July Pictures (Program #11) screening event, at 180 Maiden Lane. We also featured her and her work during our Best of Fest event held last year. The interview was conducted by Nina Balton for ANNY.
