Leat Klingman is a puppeteer-filmmaker. She was born in Israel and currently lives and works in New York. She received her BFA at the University of Haifa, and her MFA at the School of Visual Arts, NYC. Leat has transformed herself from a fine artist to a puppeteer-filmmaker with much joy! She concentrates in creating and telling the stories of magical, fanciful puppets and their realms, such as that of Mister Pink- the sweetest animalish creature, and the graceful white Horsy. Mister Pink & Horsy were recently added to Volume 4 of Handmade Puppet Dreams (Heather Hensons company). Recent screenings include- Puppet Blok at Dixon Place in NYC; NYC Best Short Filmmakers at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn; Video for the Public at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Sweden; V-Dance, International Festival for Video Dance at the Cinemateq in Tel-Aviv, Israel; Cowtown Puppetry Festival at Hip Pocket Theatre, Texas. A premiere of her next film,* Wolfys Journey* a musical, will take place in January 2011 at 3rd Ward.
