"Signe Baumane is a Latvian director and artist whose work has been nominated and awarded at several international film festivals, including Berlin and the most important one in the animation industry, Annie -- she is also the director of the acclaimed animated feature 'Rockets in My Pockets'. Now, 'Ten Animated Films by Signe Baumane' is a collection of animated short films made by the director between 1991 and 2005, with her characteristic flat and childlike drawings, with adult themes ranging from feminism to psychoanalysis, to sex separation, love and dreams. An indispensable collection to find an animation figure that, undoubtedly, deserves greater recognition."
