GLAS Presents: ANIMATION NEXT
Skwigly
GLAS Animation continues its mission to showcase the newest groundbreaking independent animation with the announcement of a new theatrical venture: ANIMATION NEXT; a collection of animated short films that will be released all over the United States in theaters this fall.
The best-of-the-best from the annual GLAS Animation Festival in Berkeley, CA. Showcasing seven bold new shorts from the newest generation to redefine what’s possible in the medium, ANIMATION NEXT takes you on a prismatic journey ranging from subterranean nightmares to sun-soaked coming of age stories — each exploring themes that most grip the modern world.
We believe in the community-driven experience of watching films with other people in a theater as a way to create a context and language for a shared understanding and appreciation of animation. In many cases, there is also no other way to see these films as they aren’t available outside of theaters and festivals. It’s for all these reasons that we wanted to create a program of exceptional animated short films and share them as widely as possible with audiences all over the United States, and present them in the best possible manner.
