Commemorating 9/11 on film

Houston-born artist Mel Chin will present his animated short 9-11/9-11 tonight at the MFAH. The film, which is still a work in progress, focuses on two different Sept. 11's: 2001 and 1973. We're well aware of the events on our soil on this day in 2001, but many may not be as familiar with Sept. 11, 1973, the day democracy died in Chile with the military coup of President Allende. Chin's animation looks at both tragedies, how they affected the two countries, and remembering the thousands that lost their lives due to each event.

The production team will be accompanying Chin and discussing the process of making the commemorative film.
