The Woman Who Owns the Sun
New Short Animated Film by Jo Lawrence
This visually stunning short animated film made using colourful animation mixing live action and cut out pixilation, creatively tells the story of Angeles Duran who spotted a loophole in the 1967 space treaty which claims that no nation could claim ownership of the solar system or its parts, it did not say anything about individuals so, she claimed ownership of the sun for herself.
She is apparently selling plots on eBay... for anyone interested in an unusual Christmas Present this year!
This film is screening at the Four Corners Gallery until January and at LIAF 2015 running from December 4th to the 13th. Full details at www.liaf.org.uk,www.fourcornersfilm.co.uk and www.animateprojects.org.

BAFTA Guru Interview Nominated Film Club Director Marcus Armitage
Film Club's Marcus Armitage walked alongside Beckham, Redmayne, Moore, Leigh & co on the red carpet on Sunday as his RCA graduate short animation 'My Dad' made the nominations list for Best British Short Animation at the 2015 BAFTA Awards.
In light of the event, BAFTA Guru interviewed Marcus for further background details of his film that has become such a UK festival favorite and about Marcus' story of success so far.
To read the full interview - and to watch a short trailer of the film itself - follow this click-through link (or find Marcus directly beneath Eddie Redmayne and to the right of Benedict Cumberbatch from the home page here!).
BAFTA 2015 Nomination for Film Club's Marcus Armitage
Film Club's Marcus Armitage has this morning been nominated for a BAFTA in the Best British Short Animation category for his well traveled short film 'My Dad'.
Having been awarded Best British Film at the London International Animation Festival last year, the film - which Marcus presented as his RCA graduate film only last summer - has continued to impress on the International festival circuit.
The film was made using oil pastels on paper and depicts a Dad's influence on an impressionable young boy's life. The relationship gives rise to a toxic mix, resulting in a world that strips away opportunity and experience for the young boy. Marcus defines the film as existing 'somewhere between a documentary and fiction. A film created from personal experiences, of my own eye opening journey of moving to London, and the prejudices I see around me in people I know or things that I read see or hear'.
We'd love to show you all the film in its entirety, but until the film eventually comes off the festival circuit, a short excerpt is all we're allowed. To see this, please follow this link.
For a full list of 2015 BAFTA nominees, please follow this link.
We're absolutely over the moon for you, Marcus, and we wish you all the very best of luck for the awards show on February 8th.
