André Silva, an associate professor in UNCW’s Department of Film Studies, is the recipient of a 2018-19 NC Artist Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council.

Silva will use the $10,000 award to complete “GIFnosis,” the second installment of “The Genesis Trilogy,” a series of short experimental animations that probe the relationships between digital, biological, cultural and environmental programs running humans.
