50 Years of Aardman
Cinema Rediscovered 2026
Please note : this season finished in
In Aardman’s 50th anniversary year, Cinema Rediscovered presents a trio of events celebrating the world-famous Bristol-based animation studio with special guests Aardman co-founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton.
Expect a deep dive into the playfully mischievous world of Morph, one of the first characters created by the studio who went on to entertain generations with his slapstick antics; and get insights into the creation of visionary musician Peter Gabriel’s iconic Sledgehammer music video featuring innovative stop-motion animation by Aardman and the Brothers Quay.
