Often referred to as the ‘Glastonbury for books’, Port Eliot Literary Festival is celebrated for the wide-ranging list of artists, writers, thinkers, stinkers, chefs, dress-makers and ne’erdowells that have appeared over the last three years. The animate! project is proud to curate a special film programme from its back catalogue as part of this year’s event.

Matching the festival’s reputation for the bizarre and challenging, *Author Author* ignites word and image in dynamic conversation as some of the UK’s most innovative animators transform strikingly authored sources into intense new narratives:
