Ruth "Lingford has been making short animated films since studying fine art and art history at Middlesex (1987–1990) and animation at the MA level at the Royal College of Art (1990–92). Her films have been broadcast by Channel 4 in the UK, and have won many awards all over the world. She taught in the MA animation program at the Royal College of Art and at the National Film and Television School. Her films are made using 2D digital techniques, often combining drawing and treated live footage. [Here it is etched-wood animation.] She is known for making 'feelbad films' which use the seductive medium of animation to draw the audience in and take them to uncomfortable places."
