The London International Animation Festival proudly showcases the whole spectrum of creative animation, showing that animation is for everyone. Founded in 2003, LIAF aims to dispel the popular misconception that animation is just cartoons for kids by screening the broadest possible range of intelligent, entertaining and provocative current films on offer from all around the world as well as retrospectives and specialised sessions from countries and animators who don't normally elicit such attention.
This programme is a comprehensive screening of the very best recently released British animation. This snapshot of the state of British animation paints a vibrant picture of a spirited and imaginative animation nation featuring a mix of some of the most promising film school graduates and first-time filmmakers and seasoned professional animators.
Running time: 82 min.
