Summaries

A film inspired by London nightlife, made in 2018. It is based on nineteenth-century poet Charles Baudelaire's idea of the 'flâneur' - a figure who wanders around observing urban life, making observations and seeking out interesting moments of human interaction. 'Flâneur' is an animated short that captures an experience of wandering through the city at night, against the vibrant backdrop of artificial light as it emanates from pubs and club doorways. Each scene is based on an observational drawing from time spent documenting London at night, bringing the film into a contemporary setting. The themes of this film are communicated through contrasts of colour, which generate emotive images that encourage moments of quiet reflection from the viewer. The film's visuals and creative approach is informed by the Impressionists, whose vivid use of colour brought sensations into scenes of everyday urban society.
