Je ne regrette rien is an animated contemplation on nostalgia, made during Covid-19 lockdown in the UK.

In a week in which VE day celebrations collided with Black Lives Matter protests we began to question the persistence of nostalgia as a form of social control.

Red & The Kingdom Of Sound is an animated adaptation of Benjamin Britten’s 1945 composition, The Young Person’s Guide To The Orchestra.

Red, the animation’s protagonist, personifies the new-comer to classical music as he makes his way through the distinctive musical terrains of Britten’s orchestral landscape.
