Joanna Quinn completed a foundation course in art at Goldsmiths College, University of London before studying for a BA in Graphic Design at Middlesex University. There she first discovered the magic of animation, quickly adapting her unique drawing abilities to produce beautifully fluid and dynamic animated passages. In 1985 she founded Beryl Productions with her partner, producer/writer Les Mills, and the couple have collaborated ever since. Joanna is now a highly acclaimed figure in world animation, having won over 90 international awards, including Emmys, Baftas and Jury prizes at all the major animation festivals. Two of her films have received Oscar© nominations. She has been honoured with retrospectives of her work in all over the world including Rome, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Stuttgart, Zagreb, Hiroshima, Toronto, Montreal, Gothenburg, Bradford, Cordoba, Tampere, Ottawa, Valencia and Taiwan.

If patience is a virtue, animation filmmakers are particularly worthy of our admiration. Follow two seasoned practitioners as they guide us through the arresting world of stopmotion animation. A cherished collaborator of Wes Anderson, Jay Clarke ("Isle of Dogs") awakens us to the power of storyboarding, namely to enable a film crew to see a story before they shoot it. A creator of fable-like creatures, Swedish director Niki Lindroth von Bahr ("Something to Remember", Generation 2020) highlights hidden aspects of this timeconsuming yet tender filmmaking technique by sharing excerpts from works in progress and placing her singing snails and other puppets centre stage. Moderated by Andrew Amondson.

It’s my message of love to Gaza and the Palestinian people, in particular to animator Haneen Koraz, Shorouq Darwish and Nour abdel Jawad and their team of women animation artists who devote themselves tirelessly to bringing hope to the children of Gaza. My little film was inspired by the poem Hamza by the great Palestinian poet FADWA TUQAN. I chose the part of her poem that compares and connects the mystery of the fertility of the Palestinian land to the mysterious power of it’s women.

The Exploded Girl, a 30-year-old woman literally blows up , sometimes seven times a day. A surreal, intimate, and deeply political short film by Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel, selected at Annecy Festival in the Official Competition. In the first episode of Chill(s) — our new series dedicated to genre films — the duo reflects on loneliness, virtual worlds, and the structural violence that seeps into everyday life. Written during lockdown, the film grew in resonance with the latest traumatising news and images from Gaza, and asks what happens when that violence becomes internal. Premiered at Locarno Festival and chosen as the European Film Awards candidate for Best Short Film.
