Wednesday 17th March, 4-5pm, Ellie Land presents an overview of her award winning film Bathroom Priviledges.
Three stories of denied access and exclusion, bringing to light society’s views on disability, gender and race in the most intimate spaces. Establishing the public bathroom as a stimulus for investigation, the politics of sharing are examined through the re-imagined bathroom in 2D animation. Bathroom Privileges is an animated documentary co-directed by Ellie Land and Social Worker Rupert Williams and funded by BFI Doc Society. The practice-based research involved a multi-layered approach, including peer interviews, co-creation and animated re-enactment. Bathroom Privileges won the AHRC Research in Film Award (Animation) 2020.
