NERD Productions' Shay Hamias Takes Up Residency at Birkbeck School of Arts

Alongside his normal day job, NERD’s Lead Director Shay Hamias will be taking up a 10 month residency at Birkbeck School of Arts.

The project, along with Academic professor Anthony Bale, will explore medieval manuscripts as a source, inspiration, and critical intertext for contemporary animation.

Working with the medieval manuscript holdings of Birkbeck’s library and of other London institutions, Hamias will explore what animation can bring to the vibrant, lively world of the medieval page.
