Tate - A Brief Guide to Egyptian Surrealism

This animated film introduces some of the key Egyptian Surrealists, including Mayo, Amy Nimr, Ramses Younan, and their connection to an international network of Surrealists in the first half of the twentieth century.

I used a bold colourful style with a colour palette that reflected the artworks. The film was made using a combination of 2d drawn animation and collaged archive imagery and footage.
