Films from Prisons and Secure Units

These are films made by prisoners and service users as part of commisioned animation projects.

EOS Project
These films were made by prisoners in a specialist programme in a women's prison in 2024 and 2022. 

Anna and the Magic Carrot is a film by Hayley in which we made puppets from her children's drawings. It is a film about seperataion, longing and in particular about a mother's love.

Not Lost by Shaz started with an image of a figure falling apart like a jigsaw puzzle, her dog and a bird help her put herself back together.

The Transformation of Fleur by Sabrina shows us the worst moments for Fleur followed by a display of her resilience and strength. This is a film that Sabrina wanted to make for her children.

No by Dionne  is an expression of an internal almost bodily experience but is also about finding the strength to stand up to these invasive feelings.
