When I interviewed Julia Pott a few months back for her “25 New Faces” profile, she told me about the new film she was working on, a short about love and the apocalypse, based on a poem, which she had been commissioned to make by Channel 4. The Event, part of the Random Acts series, is Pott at her best, with her fierce imagination, beautiful hand-drawn animation and tragicomic sensibility colliding to make something really special.
