Goodnight, Lamby is an animated short by visual artist Dustin Yellin. Yellin has long described his sculptural practice as a form of "frozen cinema," and here, for the first time, he brings one of his glass collages to life. Inspired by his three-year-old daughter Zia, who stars alongside Paul Rudd and Chris Rock, the film follows Zia as she ventures into her father's vast sculpture in search of her missing stuffed lamb, Lamby.

Produced by Darren Aronofsky and Justin A. Gonçalves through Primordial Soup, the short blends generative AI with collage-style animation, extending Yellin's handmade materials — collage, photography, glasswork — into a moving, cinematic world. Goodnight, Lamby was an official selection at the 2026 Festival de Cannes, and will screen in Palazzo Diedo's Black Box for the duration of the Venice Cinema Biennale.

Goodnight Lamby will be included in the regular video programme of the Strange Rules exhibition.
