'Mattricide' by Gemma Rigg () is a short stop motion comedy about flytipping. The idea was inspired after years of being plagued by so many abandoned mattresses on the streets of Bedminster (no pun intended) in suburban Bristol.

Gemma made the film as part of a stop motion animation course she did with Aardman Animations.
