Films : Jumping Joan : all
animate! synopsis
With the dark resonance of the nursery rhyme from which it is drawn, this river story probes isolation and imagination, all painted directly onto hard plaster.
short synopsis
This animated film was inspired by the old children’s rhyme;
“Here am I, little Jumping Joan,
When nobody’s with me, I’m all alone.”
