Inner Polar Bear

An innovative sand animation interpretation of Jeanette Winterson’s perspective-shifting short story on climate change.

Award-winning animator Gerald Conn is internationally renowned for his sand-on-glass animation. Inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s contribution to The Guardian’s climate change campaign, he adapted the story for the screen, securing Maxine Peake to narrate.

Blending analogue and digital techniques, the film takes viewers on a globe-spanning journey that explores the impact of human actions (and inaction) on the natural world.
