Film London выбрал четырех молодых аниматоров из числа Global Majority для программы FLAMIN Animations

Film London has announced the four early-career, Global Majority artists selected for FLAMIN Animations. The FLAMIN Animations.commissioning scheme provides production funding alongside hands-on support courtesy of animation studio Blinkink and sound studio Major Tom. Working across traditional 2D animation, shadow puppetry, 3D and digital techniques and an ink-on-paper approach inspired by Chinese calligraphy, the artists’ work “highlights the breadth of talent, technique and storytelling ambition to be found across the UK.” The selected artists are Ann Dinh; Cole Morris; Titash Sen and Hannah Wu. As well as £3,500 in production funding, each artist will receive a tailored package of support, mentoring and guidance worth an estimated £20,000 as they work towards creating a new three-minute animation. Previous FLAMIN Animations have screened at film festivals around the world, including Annecy International Animation Festival, Ottawa International Animation Festival, DOK Leipzig, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Fest Anča, Animator Poznan and the London International Animation Festival. Adrian Wootton OBE, Chief Executive of Film London, said: “We received more applications than ever for the fifth edition of FLAMIN Animations, and the calibre of the submissions really does showcase the startling power and imagination of the UK’s artist animators. “The selected artists’ work is fresh, exciting and thought-provoking, and we can’t wait to see where they take these new commissions.” FLAMIN Animations is run in partnership with Blinkink and Major Tom and supported by Arts Council England. The programme comes as part of Film London’s ongoing commitment to respond to the underrepresentation of Global Majority artists within the art, film, and animation industries.
