Famous for photographs of his beloved Weimaraner dogs, American artist William Wegman made a number of brilliant short films with his charming canine collaborators. Some appeared on television shows like Sesame Street, others have rarely been shown. Funny, playful, and strange, his elaborate scenes celebrate the wonderful oddities of everyday life and will elicit smiles from audience members of all ages.
