Sadly,
after over 12 years of brilliant film-making, Cardiff animation company Cinetig
has decided to call it a day. Over
that period the company has won countless awards and acclaim for films
including The Unswept Floor, Romance in the Air, The Stute, The Travelling
Harpists and Behind the Stone.
They’ve forged their own distinctive style and pioneered new ways of making
animated films with young people and community groups.
But that’s not the end of the story. Cinetig’s directors Gerald Conn and Jane Hubbard are going on to form new companies to continue the award-winning work for which Cinetig is so justly renowned.
Gerald Conn is launching Gritty Realism Productions, a new vehicle for his acclaimed sand animation and the development of this into new areas including animated feature films, interactive media and factual programmes as well as using sand animation as an educational tool with young people.
Jane Hubbard’s has created Jane Hubbard Films to produce her own work including her new Arts Council funded animation film City of Dreams. She has also formed Winding Snake Productions with Amy Morris to carry on animation and arts projects with young people and community groups.
Many thanks to all of you who’ve helped Cinetig over the last twelve years, we hope to be working with you again in the future.
