Mother of Many Birth, Babies and a Bafta
Director Emma Lazenby, UK, 6 minutes
The most dangerous journey sometimes needs a helping hand — a midwife — created to honor the work of the filmmaker's mother, who delivered over 3,000 babies in her 28-year career. The film is based around the rhythms of a baby inside the womb and the day-to-day routine of the midwife being calm and controlled – leading women through the most life-changing and challenging event of their lives. It was made using real recordings of childbirths and fetal heartbeats, combining painting on glass, hand drawn animation, Flash and After-Effects.
Emma recollects, "It was my mum's retirement that got me thinking about what an amazing thing it is she has done as a lifetime's work - to be the first person thousands of people touch and see, and to help women (and their men) through such a ridiculously hard time continuously day after day - just seems crazy. Such a worthwhile job. It makes me think about what I do and consider a change in career!"
