animate!

This winter three UK/international Artists Fellowship Programmes are supporting animation artists for the first time.

John Parry, who made Salvage on animate! in 1998, has just returned from a two-and-a-half month International Artists Fellowship based in the artist-in-residence laboratory at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw. His project, using a ‘limited’ still style of animation, created a trailer for High Noon inspired by the use of images of Gary Cooper in posters for Solidarity. Sponsors: Arts Council England, British Council, Visiting Arts and Triangle Trust.

Daniel Saul has started a three-month Taiwan-UK Artists Fellowship for digital arts in Taiwan. Living in Taipei Artist Village, he is pursuing his use of montage and collage to break the surface of film and reveal secrets behind the photo-reality. He completed his animate! film The Nuclear Train in 2002. Sponsors: Arts Council England, Visiting Arts, National Endowment for Culture & Arts and British Council Taipei.

Robert Bradbrook received the UK Arts Foundation’s first ever Fellowship for Animation in January this year. Robert’s animate! work End of Restriction (1994) was one of the earliest digital desktop films to be more concerned with ‘emotional’ narrative than pixel-fetish. He went on to make Home Road Movies for Channel 4 and Arts Council Lottery, which won more international festival awards in 2002 than any other British short film.

The Quay Brothers, makers of The Phantom Museum last year on animate!, received a special Arts Foundation award alongside Robert’s Fellowship. The other two nominees, Daniel Saul and Tim Webb, have also made films on animate!.
