Synopsis

As seen through the eyes of a local youth from an East London Estate, this challenging documentary-animation uniquely deals with the problem of anti-social behaviour in Britain’s inner cities to successfully tackle social misrepresentation of the community, young and old. Commissioned by Tower Hamlets Crime Reduction Services and The Local Police Team this film used a unique process of workshops and interaction with the local community to resolve long standing issues of misrepresentation and disengagement of young people on the estate. The animation was written by two emerging youth leaders on the estate who realised that the ongoing problems needed to be resolved if they where ever going to stand a chance of living in peacefully alongside the police and older residents.

Synopsis

‘Monkey Business’ is the story of one small monkey’s determination to build an idol which he can adore and worship amid an eerie forest filled with tyrannical birds and personal demons. Armed with only a green leaf, a hammer, and a large portion of grit and determination, our hero embarks on an unforgettable and life-changing journey in the name of what he believes in.

Can he achieve his goal and create something he loves? Can he manage to protect it from getting dumped upon by the by the high-flying, mocking birds of the forest? More importantly, can the monkey keep his cool under provocation?

Loaded with religious subtexts, this simple story of a monkey and his dream parodies wider issues of war, taste and cultural otherness as a monkey’s business becomes a human’s moral dilemma. At the same time, ‘Monkey Business’ is a colourful and entertaining animated film that will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you chattering like a monkey for hours.

Synopsis

Most of the source footage for “Camouflage with White Shirt” is selected from “Man with a Mission”, a TV documentary about Tony Blair. For the first six minutes, image and sound are cut and alternated to create a flicker effect with a rhythmic soundtrack, only snatches of it intelligible.

The second part offsets Blair inspecting troops against Hugh Grant making his famous speech from “Love Actually”. In the third part, Peter Mandelson’s voice is heard praising Blair, against a shot of a wall in Berlin with an anti US/UK slogan painted on it in English.
