History

The Channel Four/MOMI animator in residence scheme was housed in the MOMI on the South Bank. Starting in 1990. It ran for thirteen years commissioning over forty films which were transmitted throughout the World. The scheme was the brainchild of Channel Four Television Corporation commissioning editor for animation, Clare Kitson.

Funded by Channel Four, it ran a competition in which graduates came up with storylines and concepts for films of which four would be developed into a full Channel Four commission. The winners had to work in full view of the public in the 'goldfish bowl', a three meter square glass box in the heart of the MOMI.

The scheme's first production advisor/producer was Lisa Beattie. She oversaw the productions from 1992 to 1999. After her departure was replaced by Chris Shepherd who took on the role starting 1999 till the scheme moved to the National Media Museum in 2004.

Notable directors to have completed the scheme included Stephen Harding-Hill, Anthony Hodgson, Leigh Hodgkinson, Lizzie Oxby, Ruth Lingford, Chris Shepherd, Brian Wood.
