Animation One-To-Ones #05 - Anna Ginsburg

Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Ben Mitchell in conversation with award-winning London-based animator and director Anna Ginsburg. Following on from our first conversation with Anna in episode 2 of our podcast series Intimate Animation to discuss her Random Acts film 'Private Parts', in this episode we discuss some of the major projects she has worked on with Strange Beast in the five years since, including her viral CNN film 'What is Beauty?' (a visual overview of the ever-changing pressures on women to conform to body shape ideals), her more recent collaboration 'Typically' with Caitlin McCarthy (an animated celebration and destigmatisation of periods for Bloody Good Period and Mother) and her boldly-designed and beautifully animated Breast Cancer Now short film 'A Love Hate Relationship', playing this week in competition as part of Annecy 2021's Commissioned Films programme. Produced by Strange Beast with agency Weber Shandwick, the film conveys the different journeys, and accompanying emotions, women go on with their breasts; from pride and embarrassment as their breasts develop, to their breasts attracting attention from others, to breastfeeding and attending mammogram appointments.
