Antoinette Starkiewicz, who arrived in Australia with her family from Poland in 1960, was an animator with a highly distinctive style and the creator of many groundbreaking and celebrated short animation films.
In this clip from her oral history interview, Antoinette talks about her film Pussy Pumps Up (1979), which was the first film to win an AFI Award in the animation category. As Antoinette explains, the film deals with gender and identity fluidity, realised through the animated 'line'.
Antoinette was interviewed by Paul Harris at the NFSA's Melbourne offices in 2022.
