Looking forward to moderating this Q&A with Julian Glander tomorrow🎙️ BOYS GO TO JUPITER is a hoot. London people – come on down!
The UK Premiere of hit indie feature ‘Boys Go To Jupiter’ opens #LIAF2024 @barbicancentre + animation journalist @dudeydok will be interviewing director @glanderco via Zoom after the screening. Fri 22 Nov, tickets: tinyurl.com/4by7pn89
Four representations of London in animation. Can you identify them? Answers in my article below, which looks at how the Big Smoke has been depicted (sometimes smokelessly) in animated films and series…
One of this year's most readable and engrossing animation books is ADVENTURES IN ANIMATION, which (posthumously) covers the full sweep of master animator Richard Williams's life… (1/3)
It's essentially a memoir, loaded with vivid anecdotes about colleagues and relatives, manic productions and frightening road trips. But Williams also takes whole chapters to pay tribute to the Golden Age animators who inspired him, such as Emery Hawkins and Milt Kahl. (2/3)
After blitzing through the book, I discussed it with Imogen Sutton, Williams's wife and collaborator, who co-authored it. She says she wants to make it possible to screen A CALL TO ARMS, Williams's unfinished final film 🤞 Read the interview below. (3/3) movemadly.substack.com/p/ric…
Thrilled to see Move Madly recommended in this week’s Substack Reads, thanks to @colbay. I like Coleen's pairing of my post with bourbon, too. Maybe I should try sipping some as I write the next one.
And her excellent newsletter, The Line Between: the-line-between.com/
For decades, I was haunted by an animated film I'd watched as a child, of which I remembered only one image: a sad whale swimming through murky, polluted water. I wrote about this on Move Madly… 🧵(1/5)
SAMSON & SALLY is dark and violent: there are whalers, killer whales, oil slicks, barrels of radioactive waste. Clearly, its oppressive mood had made an impression on me. But why did I remember some parts & not others? What had the 7-yr-old me thought of this strange film? (4/5)
I wrote about my rewatch of the film, which is itself kind of about remembering and forgetting, for Move Madly… (5/5) movemadly.substack.com/p/the…
"Like the best newsletters, it is a welcome rabbit hole."
A real joy and surprise to see Move Madly recommended in this month's @SightSoundmag !
Five years ago, I interviewed the Brothers Quay about dolls, madness and music. With their new feature, SANATORIUM UNDER THE SIGN OF THE HOURGLASS, about to premiere @giornate, I'm publishing the article for the first time in English… (1/2)

A hell of an animated feature premiered today at #locarnofilmfestival. Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat's OLIVIA & THE CLOUDS is sensuous, delirious, a wild and beautiful meditation on love and ways of looking. I've written about it… (1/2)
… for Move Madly, in the newsletter's first members' post. (2/2) open.substack.com/pub/movema…
