LIAF 2015: Animate Projects presents: Crafty Women + Q&A

by

Jo Lawrence, Noriko Okaku and Elizabeth Hobbs are the Crafty Women, three animators at the forefront of their profession who come from diverse backgrounds unified by a hands-on approach to filmmaking, a love of great stories and a willingness to experiment with their work.

Using a variety of hand-made, craft-based techniques such as collage, classic illustration, animated puppetry, watercolour, ink blots and rubber-stamping the Crafty Women’s work borrows from the past but collectively is very much rooted in the 21st Century. Between the three makers their films have been seen widely at animation festivals worldwide, broadcast on national TV and won many awards.

At this very special event all three filmmakers will be in attendance to introduce their films and take part in a post-screening Q&A joined by Abigail Addison (Animate Projects) and Nag Vladermersky (LIAF).
