Affairs of the Art is a 2021 British-Canadian traditional animation short film directed by Joanna Quinn and written by Les Mills.

Beryl, the working-class heroine, first appeared in the 1987 animated short film Girls Night Out, Body Beautiful (1990) and Dreams & Desires: Family Ties (2006).

The 16-minute-film was traditionally animated on a lightbox and took more than 24000 hand drawn frames (fps) to produce.
