How Mermaids Breed
(2002). Joan Ashworth. Gran Bretaña. 10 minutos
How do mermaids breed? Do mermaids exist? Why are they half fish half-human? Do they have sexual relations? Are there male mermaids? These are the questions which this completely digital stylized short starring mermaids with a look à la Henry Moore and their reproduction attempts tries to answer. But to do so, they need the invaluable collaboration of someone to provide them with a little thing that’ll permit them to get down to work. Directed by Joan Ashworth, lecturer at the London’s prestigious Royal College of Art, with extensive experience in the animation field, who with this work attempts to answer some of the questions asked at the beginning of this text.
