Dancing in the Loo

Dancing in the Loo by Delphine Mandin.

This short animated film is the winner of a competition jointly promoted by PooP Creative and the London International Animation Festival (LIAF), which invited animators to produce short films that tackled the serious issue of sanitation and/or hygiene in an edgy, irreverent and humorous way.

Some 2.5 billion people worldwide are without access to adequate sanitation, which risks their health, strips their dignity and kills 1.8 million people mostly children each year.

More than 1 in four people have faecal matter on their hands. Britain's 12m cases of norovirus, gastroenteritis, MRSA, E-Coli and now Swine Flu infections are mainly down to dirty hands.
