This retrospective programme brings together highlights from Neville Astley & Mark Baker's BAFTA-winning and Oscar®-nominated artistic careers, including work made separately –The Hill Farm and the joyously upbeat Mobile Home – to work made together including the little known, but hilarious The Big Knights, to more recent successes such as Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom.
Although ostensibly made for a children’s audience, their later work is notable for its lightness of touch, humour, social satire, observation and an incredible ability to cut across social divides, whilst their earlier work demonstrates considerable sophistication as well as being informed by a deep craft and love for the art of animation.
This retrospective is supported by the BFI’s programme development fund.
