Ben Johnson: All about Lucy (1995)

Ben Johnson is a filmmaker and a lecturer at the University of Bristol in the Applied Science Department. He is interested in the popularisation and publicity of science. Made on a very low budget, the film was written and directed by Ben Johnson and funded by The British Council.

All about Lucy is a quirky and humorous exploration of the connections between the oldest known human skeleton, a chimpanzee who thought she was human, the film Out of Africa and the story of Adam and Eve. It uses a collection of words and images drawn from Renaissance painting and Genesis and gives us an unusual insight into primordial sexuality blending the scientific with the visual.
