Simon Hamlyn
Simon Hamlyn is an artist-animator based in Bristol whose work is underpinned by experimental approaches and process-led exploration. He has taken particular interest in configuring various printmaking techniques for animation - developing hybrid processes which make viable new ways of working. With an interest in exploring themes around social history, he is fascinated by the complex mythologies behind our built environment.
For his film Green Lung (2024), he received the ASIFA International 65th Anniversary Best Non-Narrative Award at Ottawa International Animation Festival in 2025 and has screened his work internationally in festivals such as: ITFS Stuttgart, Germany; Cinanima, Portugal; Anifilm, Czechia; Viborg, Denmark; Animator, Poland; Anibar, Kosovo and Flatpack Festival in Birmingham.
