Sarah Watt
Sarah Watt is an award-winning filmmaker who has been working as a writer, director and producer of animation for fifteen years. She lives in Melbourne with her husband, actor William McInnes, and their two children. Sarah s acclaimed animation Small Treasures (1995) brought widespread international attention, winning, amongst many awards, the Baby Lion for Best Short Film at the Venice Film Festival that year. Local Dive and Living with Happiness followed, both of which screened widely at festivals and theatrically, winning many international and Australian awards. Sarah s hand-painted animated films are distinguished by her comic exploration of personal states, set against lush Australian landscapes, fully using her previous career as a painter and printmaker. Look Both Ways was Sarah s debut feature film. Unlike the short films, it is live action, interspersed with animated sequences. A critical and commercial success in Australia, it has also won many awards and has screened widely internationally. It is currently used as a text on the VCE English list. Clem Always Could is Sarah s first picture book.
