MARY MARTINS

Monday 26th May 2025

Mary Martins is a British-Nigerian animator from London. She studied Philosophy prior to Animation and Moving Image at the University of East London and then graduated from RCA Animation from the documentary pathway in 2022.

She produces multi-layered and mixed media style animated documentaries that combine 16mm live action footage and archive material with more traditional forms of animation. Her ideas focus on socially engaged themes, working with communities in the UK, Nigeria and Brazil, representing the lived experiences and stories of marginalised groups. She experiments with her filmmaking approach, combining animation as a method of encouraging her audience to reflect on some of the most challenging situations that are impacting society today. Her films have screened both nationally and internationally, winning the CIRCA and Dazed prize in 2022.
