Inner Polar Bear
Directed by Gerald ConnThis film, based on a piece of writing by acclaimed novelist Jeanette Winterson, takes the form of an imaginative stream of consciousness contrasting alternative human and animal perspectives on the implications of climate change. The narration moves through a wide spectrum of visual imagery, including references to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the evolution of life on earth in a way that is ideally suited to the shifting qualities of the sand animation process and will utilise the sand animation technique in new ways to convey the poetic qualities of this powerful text.
