Now in its 5th year, and running from the 1st-7th of September is the London International Animation Festival. Screening across several of London’s beloved independent venues the program is bringing together animation in all shapes and sizes from shorts to features, and CG to puppets from over 28 different countries.
I’m excited as this will be my first year catching the festival as well as being a rare chance to catch such a dazzling range of animation on the big screen. So for at least 7 days I can shut my yap and quit complaining about the lack of animated diversity on the big screen.
There will be a sneak peek of the festival line up at this Friday’s (Aug 29th) animated Curzon Midnight Movies where you have the pick of catching either René Laloux’s retro sci fi cult classic Fantastic Planet or Satoshi Kon’s Paprika.
Coming soon I’ll be posting my review of Fears of the Dark which will be screening at the festival, which also had its UK premiere at Frightfest last weekend (which sadly I was unable to attend due to being in the Midlands :( , but you catch Anton Bitel’s Frightfest review/ diary over on the Little White Lies website this way…).
For full ticket info head to the official LIAFF site.
