Monique Renault

Monique Renault is an independent maker of animation films. Her technique is most notably coloured pencil applied directly to paper. She started out making films with social themes (feminism, anti-religion and anti-militarist) mixed with humour. In later work she focussed on cultural themes like dance and quotations of celebrities, cultural periods and genres. The humour remained. Her films are shown on screens all over the world.
