Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Cassie Soliday.

This week is all about the filmmakers behind the film, Titina.

Today’s guest is animator and animation director, Marie-Laure Guisset!

Based on the thrilling story of polar explorer Roald Amundson and Italian engineer Umberto Nobile, Titina tells a true-ish story of glory and defeat, seen through the eyes of the street dog that became the world’s first four-legged celebrity who traveled to the North Pole in a Zepplin.

The film is hand-drawn in 2D, interspersed with real-life footage, and produced in Norway and Belgium.
