Ruth Lingford Biography

Ruth Lingford is one of the most popular and richest Animator who was born on May 20, 1953 in London, England, United Kingdom.

On her next project, Ruth Lingford was invited at the Museum of the Moving Image, for an ‘unusual’ residency. Developing a second commission for Channel 4, Death and the Mother (1997), Lingford returned again to her rudimentary methods of computer animation. The creative process, however, would take place in full view of the people navigating through the museum : Lingford would be working in a glass room. The film drew inspiration from German expressionist woodcut, and catapulted Lingford on the international animation scene. Upon completion, in 1997, Death and the Mother won many awards, including one at Annecy International Animated Film Festival of the same year. The surface, content and reputation of Death and the Mother drew attention to Lingford from Orly Yadin and Sylvie Bringas. She was asked to collaborate on their project, Silence (1998), where Lingford would be working along Tim Webb on the animation of Silence’s sequence. Lingford worked on the first half of the film, which takes place in an animated Theresienstadt, while Webb worked on the second half, which takes place in Sweden. On Silence, she returned to Deluxe Paint to draw preliminary images which were finished by Yadin. Overall, the visuals she helped build in Silence won several important awards including: the Gold Hugo for Animation Short at the 1998 Chicago International Film Festival and the Grand Prix of the 1999 Odense Film Festival.

The Old Fools (2002) was Ruth Lingford’s following project, again, commissioned by Channel 4. It is an adaptation of the Philip Larkin’s homonymous poem – written while her mother was in nursing home. In terms of style, The Old Fools marks a departure from Lingford’s computer-drawn evocative imagery; its aesthetics, rather combining DV footage, are drawings and typography animated in After Effects and Painter. With the Shynola collective, Lingford worked next on a music video for the music band Unkle, An Eye for an Eye (2002). The collaboration was successful, and remained inlined with Lingford’s previous imagery : “a sublimely creepy evocation of the biological drives and desires”. Lingford also collaborated on a fellow Harvard professors’ film: Secrecy (2008), where her animated sequences served “to create a contrast between imaginary and literal realms of the secrecy system”. Likewise, she animated sequences from another film – We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân (2010) – by Anne Makepeace.

Lingford began her work in animation when she made Baggage and Crumble (both 1992) as part of her MA. Baggage and Crumble circulated in some film festivals, after their debut at the Royal College of Art’s graduation show, including the Animefest Zagred, Holland Animation Film Festival and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. After their limited festival run, and struggles to find stability, Lingford made What She Wants (1994) with funding of a grant from the Animate! programme (co-founded by Dick Arnall for the Arts Council of England/Channel 4). For What She Wants, Lingford resorted to use her Amiga 1500 computer – having no access to animation equipments –, doing individual frames on Deluxe Paint. Lingford had learnt rudimentary usage of the computer in a workshop at the RCA, when hand- drawn animation remained the dominant technique. What She Wants’s individual images were saved across approximately 20 Floppy disks.
