“  [...]  Councils may count these libraries as part of their provision under the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964, which requires the 151 English library authorities to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service (although there is no legal definition of what comprehensive and efficient might mean, and the government has intervened only once, in Wirral in 2009). Until very recently, every local public library was part of a joined-up national network. In even the smallest library, people could be sure to find certain basics such as books and PCs, plus trained staff able to provide a gateway to national assets, including standard online reference works, national newspaper archives, a link to the British Library, access to the summer reading challenge for children in the summer holidays, and much, much more in terms of books, educational resources, reference material and contacts. The whole point was to provide a standard service nationwide. But that has now gone. It is now pot luck whether your local library is a full service, or instead, some nice people with cast-off books donated by other nice people. Or something – almost anything – in between.  “

Corona - The History of 'La Cerveza Más Fina' (2019) from Nicolas Ménard on Vimeo.

Toggle subtitles if your Spanish is a little rusty!

Commissioned by Corona Mexico and Observatory, I directed this stop-frame film that travels through the intertwined history of Mexico and Corona.

Narrated by Gael García Bernal and inspired by the art of Pedro Friedeberg, it was produced at Nexus Studios. We worked with Andy Gent’s team at Arch Model Studio to design, create and animate a cast of 71 miniature characters, 8 detailed sets and 350 individually made miniature glass bottles.

The film illustrates complex historical events that are all are boiled down into 4'x3' dioramas.

The music is by Bridget Samuels and was recorded by an orchestra of more than 50 people at Air Studios in London.

Corona put together a making of which you can watch here: vimeo.com/326534667/29bc784eed

Special thanks to Jack Cunningham for his work as Art Director, James Graham who designed the characters and the big team of artists who put a lot of love and sweat into this!

Council is reported to government for library report failures

Libraries correspondent GENE BRODIE on the latest twist in the long-running saga The cobbled-together, evidence-lite and contradictory report recommending the closure of four of the borough’s public libraries now faces a legal challenge – even before Croydon’s Mayor, Jason Perry, gets the wretched document rubber-stamped by his cabinet stooges later this month. Closure threat: Sanderstead is one…

The Tories are savaging libraries – and closing the book on social mobility | John Harris

Since 2010, more than 478 libraries have closed in England, Wales and Scotland. It’s the old Tory con: talk up advancement, then attack the institutions that make it possible

If they weren’t already here, we’d have to invent them: public spaces, crammed with books, computers and information points, where events and meetings regularly take place, and children in particular get an early taste of the world beyond their own immediate experience.
