How many obsessions can one family have? In Joanna Quinn and Les Mills’&nbsp;Affairs of the Art, we reconnect with Beryl, the working-class heroine who not only reveals her own obsession with drawing but exposes the addictions of her eccentric family, which include pickling, screw threads, and pet taxidermy. With Affairs of the Art, British animator Joanna Quinn recounts another gloriously unhinged chapter in the adventures of Beryl, the comic everywoman she unleashed upon the world with her debut film, Girls' Night Out, which took home three major awards from Annecy in 1987. Academy Award® nomination in the Best Animated Short Film categoryAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, U.S.A. (2022)
