Animation
is an astonishing illusion. Few of us ever get to know the thrill of
breathing life into the inanimate. Of creating idiosyncratic characters
and unique settings in which to depict their antics, none of which would
ever have existed but for our imagination. Of fabricating a story telling
space, interactive or linear, where anything is possible, in the eternal
hope of connecting one's ideas with a large audience of strangers.

Each
session showcases a different and diverse compilation of short productions
which include a number festival successes and award winners. These
works are the outcome of an intense year of study during which students
explore an unfamiliar art form and its technology and learn how
to forge it into an of expression of the heart and mind. They are
fresh and innovative pieces which celebrate the amazing diversity
of animation technique, and the way in can be harnessed to tell
all kinds of engaging stories - sometimes on a surprisingly large
cinematic scale.
See traditional hand-drawn animation, claymation, experimental,
puppet, 3D computer animation, digital special effects, and hybrid
forms as well as pioneering interactive work. From classic cartoon
sight gags, to dark social comment, from complex narrative works,
to sublime moments in the orchestration of moving image and sound,
from insightful portrayals of the human condition, to the purely
experimental - it's all here to titillate the eyes and ears.
