• Emily Downe is an animation director predominantly working in documentary.  Her short films take research-based topics in science, philosophy and the human story into compelling experimental and narrative structures. Prominent aspects of her work are her background in illustration, research and visual metaphors, combined together with rich and layered sound design; expressed through 2D, hand-drawn animation.
