Eleanor Ponté is a documentary and experimental animator and filmmaker. She has an interest in non-fiction narratives. Through interviews she explores individual stories and aims to bring insight into personal details that are often overlooked in greater subjects. She is further motivated by the misinformation surrounding dyslexia, first delving into her own experiences with dyslexia and the words ‘their, there and they’re’ through experimental calligraphy and further recounting others in her most recent animation, ‘A Triangular Reason’. She further ignites her audience through multiple senses, using sound manipulation to challenge our perceptions of familiar stories and create a provocative atmosphere. Ellies animation aims to provide insight into a stranger’s history, exploding misconceptions and offering an alternative perspective to the model of society.
