Ruth Lingford is an Independent animator. Since 2005, she has held a position as Faculty member in the Visual and Environmental Studies at the Harvard University, where she is Senior lecturer and Director of Undergraduate Studies. Before investing herself in Animation, she was an Occupational therapist working with the elders and people suffering from mental disorders. Lingford completed a BA in Fine Arts and Art History at the Middlesex Polytechnic (Middlesex University) from 1987 to 1990 and a MA at the Royal College of Art until 1992.
Animation Work
Lingford began her work in animation when she made Baggage and Crumble (both 1992) as part of her MA[1]. Baggage and Crumble circulated in some film festivals, after their debut at the Royal College of Art's graduation show, including the Animefest Zagred[2], Holland Animation Film Festival[3] and the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival[4][5]. After their limited festival run, and struggles to find stability, Lingford made What She Wants (1994) with funding of a grant from the Animate! project[1] (co-founded by Dick Arnall for the Arts Council of England/Channel 4). For What She Wants, Lingford resorted to use her Amiga computer – having no access to animation equipments –, doing individual frames on Deluxe Paint. What She Wants ended up saved across approximately 20 Floppy disk. She was invited at the Museum of the Moving Image (London) for an unusual residency project, where she would develop her next film – Death and the Mother – in full view of the people navigating through the museum[1]. The film would be made through a succession of black-in-white Woodcut, and catapulted Lingford in world-view. Upon completion, in 1997, Death and the Mother won many awards, including one at Annecy International Animated Film Festival of the same year[1].
She has worked with the RCA, NFTS, Animate Projects and Shynola over the course of her Animation career.
