Three of my early experimental animated documentary films feature in Body & ‘Leib’ (Bodily-self-consciousness) in Animation Art by Luzie Kollinger, published in German by Shueren Verlag.

These include Bun in the Oven, my graduation film made at University of Northumbria in 1999, Hysteria made at the Royal College of Art in 2001, and Herein made in 2004 during a residency at MuseumsQuartier Vienna at the invitation of animation festival Tricky Women.

I have written about the experience of re-visiting these works through Luzie’s writing, over on Instagram

I couldn’t be happier that my new 1 minute film will get its first outing in the SFW: Shorts competition screening on the big screen at MAST on Sunday 10 November. It’s selected in the Artist Film category and is in the running for four awards. Film Week is run by City Eye, the brilliant community film charity which introduced me to making moving image at the tender age of 14.

I recently presented an online screening of my moving image work I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY, and Q&A hosted by curator Vickie Fear. The recording can now be watched online.

If you would like to watch the film, please send me an email: hello@alysscotthawkins.co.uk and I can send you a private link.

Ellie Land and I were invited to curate and host a panel discussion on animated documentary as part of Animate Projects‘ Accelerate programme of online events during lockdown restrictions, funded by Arts Council England and in partnership with British Council Film, in November 2020.

We were joined by film-makers Signe Baumane, Mary Martins and John Summerson, who generously shared with us their thoughts about using their own life stories in their work.

You can watch the recording of our conversation, from here on Vimeo.

My 2002 film, Crying & W*nking, will screen in the Female Figures programme at London International Animation Festival on Wed 5th Dec 2018, at the Barbican Cinema, London.

I’m thrilled to be in excellent company: the screening features work by Michèle Cournoyer, Ruth Lingford, Kate Jessop and Jenny Jokela.
