BBC Four’s new documentary takes us on a journey through more than a century of animation. It examines the creative and technical inventiveness of some of the great animation pioneers who have worked in Britain – trailblazing talents such as Len Lye, John Halas and Joy Batchelor, Joanna Quinn, and Bristol’s world-conquering Aardman Animations.
Secrets of British Animation
Britannia
Joanna Quinn
Christine Pritchard, Ben Henghan
The history of empire. A British bulldog answers his mistress's call. He tacks down the Union Jack to cover the British Isles, then begins playing with a small ball that's the world. At first it's innocent play. The dog discovers tea in India; then, the dog shakes gold out of Africa. Gradually, innocence gives way to more and more ferocious play with the ball. We see terrorized women and children as the dog becomes an enslaving potentate. Harmless English archetypes benefit from colonial riches. Then the world begins to grow, and the dog changes too, from bulldog to effete lap dog.

The Canterbury Tales
Ashley Potter, Dave Antrobus
Robert Lindsay, Tim McInnerny
Цикл мультфильмов для взрослых по книге знаменитого английского писателя ХIV века Джеффри Чосера. «Кентерберийские рассказы» во многом предвосхитили литературу Ренессанса, а многое из того, что было впервые введено в английской литературе Чосером, впоследствии отразилось в творчестве великих английских писателей — Шекспира, Бена Джонсона и романистов XIX века. Идущие в Кентербери поклониться мощам Фомы Беккета пилигримы, чтобы скоротать в пути время, рассказывают друг другу свои истории, а выбранный ими судья решает, чей рассказ лучше. Меткий и ядрёный народный язык, рискованные ситуации, в каких оказываются герои, неподдельное веселье, сальные шутки и всепобеждающий смех — всё это в избытке можно найти в мультфильме. Этот цикл анимационных фильмов, выполненных в разной технике и разными режиссёрами (в том числе и нашими, российскими), обязательно должен присутствовать в Вашей коллекции, особенно, если Вы — анимационный гурман.

Dreams and Desires: Family Ties
Joanna Quinn
Menna Trussler
Beryl acquires a new Digi Video camera and becomes obsessed with the art of filmmaking, using it to articulate her desires, dreams and thoughts in a video diary. As “cineaste par excellence” she agrees to film her friend’s wedding, seizing the opportunity to “strut her stuff filmically” with disastrous and often hilarious results.

Affairs of the Art

Look out: Beryl's back. With Affairs of the Art, British animator Joanna Quinn recounts another gloriously unhinged chapter in the adventures of Beryl, the comic everywoman she unleashed upon the world with her debut film, Girls' Night Out, which took home three major awards from Annecy in 1987.
Affairs of the Art
Wife of Bath
Joanna Quinn
Based on Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic poetry. For attacking a young woman, an arrogant knight of King Arthur’s court is sentenced to death if he cannot answer the question “what do women most desire?” He travels far and wide with no success until he meets an old woman who promises him the answer, but at a price.
