Director Biography - Steven Lapcevic

Steven Lapcevic is an independent animator who specializes in creating shorts that are surreal in nature. His films eschew a narrative approach and are experimental in their structure and execution, creating a dreamlike visual progression of ideas.

His animation has been featured in the film, “Disaster 501: What Happened to Man?”, conceptualized by Lars von Trier and directed by Jenle Hallund featured at The 2012 Copenhagen Art Festival as well as on an episode of "Off the Air" on Adult Swim.

Mr. Lapcevic has been awarded the 2010 Council on the Arts & Humanities for Staten Island Art Fund Grant, the 2010 Council on the Arts & Humanities for Staten Island Excellence in the Arts Award, the 2010 Experimental Television Center Grant, the 2013 New York State Council on the Arts Original Work Grant, and the 2016 Staten Island Arts Excellence in the Arts Award.
