by Luke Jaeger • May 7, 2013 • 14 Comments

Ask an American “who invented animation” and the most likely response will be “Walt Disney.” Students of animation history know better, of course — but while Disney contributed significantly to the development of the form, his most permanent legacy may…

Blogging the Animated Documentary

by Alys Scott-Hawkins • April 29, 2013 • 3 Comments

As a film-maker who has become further and further drawn into the world of animated documentary, what has enthralled and inspired me is the overt subjectivity of exploring the world through animation; free from the ‘baggage’ of objectivity implied in…

“To document differently”: random thoughts on a taxonomy of animated documentary

by Paul Ward • April 22, 2013 • 2 Comments

My local fish and chip shop has a sign in its window that says, in a large font: “CAT FISH – 75p”   Just below, in a smaller font, it says “Fish for your cat”   This sign always makes…

Who said that? The dispensability of original sound in animated documentary

by Samantha Moore • April 15, 2013 • 7 Comments

There came a point in The Beloved Ones, the film I made in 2007 for the UK Film Council, when it became clear that the indexical sound recorded in the field, in Uganda, was not going to be able to…

Animated Memories

by Bella Honess Roe • April 1, 2013 • 4 Comments

Animation Studies / Animation Stories If Complementary, Animation Studies are not Consensual: Good for Them!

by Pierre Floquet • March 25, 2013 • 4 Comments

Stories, histories, History: never will I pretend not to need them, rely on them, nor require them. Who would dare deny and ignore the vital value of History, or the sense of History? So obviously, this never will be the…

‘Sorry, I can’t make the class; I’m having my hair cut.’

by Barry Purves • March 11, 2013 • 1 Comment
