Hot Animation

5:30, 26 January – 16 February 2024
Andrew Stewart Cinema, Gilmorehill Halls, 9 University Avenue G12 8QQ

Hot Animation is a month-long series of screenings that give cultural expression to heat and changing temperatures. Screening the films Rango (Verbinski, 2011), Kirikou (Ocelot, 1998), Children of the Sea (Watanabe, 2019) and The Red Turtle (Dudok de Wit, 2016) in the depth of a Glasgow winter, might provide a little respite from the cold. But also, these films provide ground to engage with significant environmental humanities questions around the cinematic representation of temperature, imagined futures, human and more-than-human relations, and ways of living during the climate crisis.
