SUMMARY:We Made A Film At Aardman [2025]
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\nSunday Spotlight\n\n\n\nAardman Animation needs no introduction. Whether your first encounter with their iconic stop motion work was Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, or Shaun the Sheep, if you’re here at MIAF we’re sure that at least one of their amazing films have found a place in your heart. Their films have entertained millions, their iconic characters are beloved, and will surely outlive us all. There is a magic in the middle of their work that speaks to so many of the things that make animation such a captivating artform, and over the years that magic has done nothing but grow and magnify.\n\n\n\nRecently, Aardman formed an academy to offer emerging puppet animators a chance to come to their studio and make a film under their roof; to learn from the masters, and maybe absorb some of the Aardman animated alchemy. For eight lucky young animators this would be the experience of a lifetime, and the films they each produced are a wonderful combination of their individual visions multiplied by that Aardman magic. MIAF reached out to this smallest of all animation tribes and SIX of them eagerly agreed to beam in for a joint session in which we will show their films, talk to them about their experience, and take questions from the audience. This promises to be a very special, not-to-missed session.\n\n\n\nGuts – Jane Abernethy\n\n\n\nGutsJane AbernethyUK, 2’47, 2023Guts is a romantic comedy interrogating the part of ourselves we try to hide in order to feel accepted.\n\n\n\nAwaiting The Lightning Bolt – Marco Russo\n\n\n\nAwaiting The Lightning BoltMarco RussoUK, 4’21, 2023Defying science and his peers’ doubts, Renato, a bold Renaissance inventor, embarks on a daring quest to capture a lightning in a jar.\n\n\n\nBig Bad Wulf – Leo Wright\n\n\n\nThe Big Bad WolfLeo WrightUK, 5’07, 2023Richmond, our little piggie hero-ette, befriends a not-so-big bad wolf named Billy, much to the outrage of his father.\n\n\n\nHot Mess – Tortor Smith\n\n\n\nHot MessTortor SmithUK, 3’09, 2023An insight into grief, anxiety and emotional abuse that comes with a late ADHD diagnosis, shown in a compact, creative and distinctively animated way.\n\n\n\nKukeleku! – Jelle\n\n\n\nKukeleku!JelleUK, 3’04, 2023After discovering a squeaky toy, the voiceless rooster Nugget fakes his crow to claim the throne.\n\n\n\nMy Jacket – Chesley Cannon\n\n\n\nMy JacketChesley CannonUK, 5’25, 2023The story of how Lilah, a precocious middle-schooler, will take her and her two sisters on an epic adventure across the high seas, to the bottom of the ocean, and even out of this world.\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n↑ ( #top )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis session is classified: Unclassified (M) Mature, not recommended for viewers under 15 years.\n
