| Description: | This micro talk explores Animated Environmental Rituals and reclaims animation as a sustainable filmmaking practice by integrating nature as medium and muse. Drawing on techniques such as En Plein Air animation, papermaking, and environmentally conscious storytelling, new role character role models it emphasises ecological awareness and collaborative rituals to reconnect art-making with the natural world. Using examples from residencies at Quinta das Relvas inspired by permaculture principles and diaristic animation approaches, the talk highlights the transformative potential of blending speculative fabulation with sustainable practices. It examines how engaging with natural materials, exploring permaculture-inspired systems, and adopting community-driven and selfreflective approaches can reshape animation practice and education. Animated Environmental Rituals challenges traditional animation methods by fostering mindfulness, material resourcefulness, and immersive engagement with natural spaces. This approach addresses pressing environmental and social justice concerns while expanding animation’s potential as a medium for personal growth, ecological awareness, and social transformation. |
