Nature’s Resources

About

We are delighted to present a special children’s programme that showcases the harmonious collaboration between humans and non-human species, while celebrating the power of animation to bring the impossible to life.

Across the history of cinema, children’s animated films have conveyed profound wisdom by exploring the cooperation of human and non-human species and contemplating the uncertain boundary where the body ends and nature begins. From the delicate silhouettes in Lotte Reiniger’s Thumbelina and the resourceful tiny mammal in How the Mole Got His Trousers to the vibrant and sensuous biodiversity celebrated in Idodo and The Butterfly, these films remind us that adornment is not the sole preserve of humankind. Felix the Cat’s slapstick antics in Comicalamities and the witty animal world of A is for Ant bring a touch of hilarity to themes of metamorphosis, empathy and adaptation. Together, these stories celebrate dress as both a wondrous and profoundly strange language concocted by nature and human creativity alike.  

This programme was curated by the festival in collaboration with Susie Evans. Presented with support from Dana and Michal Malý and the Czech Centre London.
