Title Card for The Orbit of Satellites by Chris Sullivan.
Chris Sullivan ’83

The Orbit of Minor Satellites by Chris Sullivan ’83 premiered at the Annecy Animation festival on June 22. As described by Sullivan, “The Orbit of Minor Satellites, is a hybrid film mixing hand drawn animation with live action. This is a psychiatrist and patient story, that travels to the hallucinatory space world that the patient has conjured... It is also about giving life and accepting death in dark times. It is also about a giant buffalo voiced by Boris Karloff.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
