Larry Cuba gave a master class at Punto Y Raya Festival in 2023, October 11.  It is now available to watch on the Punto Y Raya YouTube Channel.  In this master class he gives us an incredible archaeological dig (as he introduces his class) into the early days of computer graphics and how he made his computer animated graphic films.  Incredibly, he shows a short excerpt of one of his first computer graphic films made at the JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab, Pasadena, California in 1974.
