Sarina Nihei is a Japanese animation director and illustrator, though she might be the most westerner one. She graduated at Royal College of Art in London. Her graduation film ’Small People with Hats’, won several prizes at festivals including OIAF, HAFF and British Animation Awards. We spent time together when she was hosted in the NiNoKo residency in Denmark.
Specialising in hand-drawn animation, she makes dark tales and cynical short films, using simple pens and deep symbols.
