Peter and the Wolf

She is a director and the winner of BAFTA award. She was born and grew up in England. She received a diploma in science in London and after that for about a decade took up various jobs such as teaching English at a refugee camp in India. There she decided to become an animator. During her studies at the Art College in Farnham she expressed her passion for the gloomy aesthetics by creating a satirical digital cut-out The Absolute Corruption of Death Which Is Life (1997) and a multiple award-winning stop-motion animation Stanley (1999), a surreal story of an old man falling in love with a cabbage, which confirmed her strong position in the field of animation. At the Royal College of Art she created a film about a rampant beast outside entitled Inside (2000), which was a formal experiment. In 2001 she made another stop-motion animation called Dog, a grim picture of grief of a little boy and his father after the death of their mother and wife. The film has won several international awards, e.g. the British Animation Award and BAFTA. Peter and the Wolf is her latest work produced for the Se-ma-for Short Film Studio. At present, Suzie Templeton is teaching animation in England and the USA.
