Meeting your partner’s ex is seldom easy and as UK director/animator/designer Samuel de Ceccatty points out, that goes double for Eve when Adam’s first wife Lilith happens into the garden for a little catch-up.

Lilith & Eve, featuring the voices of Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education) and Susan Wokoma (Enola Holmes), is de Ceccatty’s first animated effort and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film was co-written by Manon Ardisson and produced through her London film and television prodco Ardimages UK.

Samuel de Ceccatty: “My life partner Manon and I grew up in respectively Catholic and Jewish households, but we spent much of our adult lives unlearning what religion had taught us. In particular, we’ve always resented the story of Adam and Eve, which defines women as ‘man’s suitable helper’ (Genesis 2:24).

“So when we first heard of Lilith, Adam’s first wife and equal, nicknamed ‘mother of all demons’ for refusing to submit to Adam, we were destined to fall in love.

“After naming our first daughter after her, we decided to set the record straight and tell Lilith’s story as we saw it: the story of a biblically badass woman, who took control of her own destiny.”
