The London International Animation Festival (LIAF 2015) and Animate Projects presents Crafty Women at the Arthouse Crouch End cinema.

Jo Lawrence, Noriko Okaku and Elizabeth Hobbs are the Crafty Women, three animators at the forefront of their profession who come from diverse backgrounds unified by a hands-on approach to filmmaking, a love of great stories and a willingness to experiment with their work.

Using a variety of handmade, craft-based techniques such as collage, classic illustration, animated puppetry, watercolour, ink blots and rubber-stamping the Crafty Women’s work borrows from the past but collectively is very much rooted in the 21st Century.

Between the three makers their films have been seen widely at animation festivals worldwide, broadcast on national TV and won many awards.

At this very special event all 3 filmmakers will be in attendance to introduce their films and take part in a post-screening Q&A joined by Abigail Addison (Animate Projects) and Nag Vladermersky (LIAF).

Films include:
The Emperor, Elizabeth Hobbs, 2001
Imperial Provisor Frombald, Elizabeth Hobbs, 2013
Little Skipper, Elizabeth Hobbs, 2006
Allegory of Mrs.Triangle, Noriko Okaku, 2011
Joyz ‘Electropia’, Noriko Okaku, 2011

Crafty Women is a special event and part of the London International Animation Festival (LIAF 2015) running from December 4th to the 13th at several London venues.
