Kate Bush has written and directed the short animated film Little Shrew (Snowflake), which is now available to watch on www.katebush.com

The music for the short film is a new 2024 radio edit of the track Snowflake, which originally appeared on Bush’s 2011 album 50 Words For Snow.

The film, just over four minutes long, depicts a little shrew searching for hope as she makes her way across a bombed-out city.

At the end of the film the following message appears: “You could be hope for a child caught up in war. Please donate to War Child”.
