Skwigly
The London International Animation Festival (LIAF) – the UK’s largest independent animation festival – returns to the Barbican Cinemas and the Horse Hospital from next Friday the 24th October with a whopping 10-day celebratory feast of forums, workshops, international and local guests and over 250 of the best recent, historical and retrospective animated shorts and features from around the world.
LIAF 2014’s opening night gala showcase is on Fri 24 Oct at 6-20pm at the Barbican and celebrates the centenary of Scottish born Canadian animator Norman McLaren with a special programme entitled McLarens Influences. Norman McLaren’s pioneering techniques led him to become one of the world’s most influential animators – come and see why. The gala opening also includes highlights from right across the festival programme, taking some of the hottest films from the competition, mixing them with some gems from the specially curated programmes and give attendees a chance to meet some festival guests. This is the essential LIAF showbag to whet your appetite for the days ahead.
As a special competition giveaway LIAF are offering Skwigly readers a chance to win one of three FREE double-passes to this screening. Just email the festival at info@liaf.org.uk with the name of one of Norman McLaren’s films and the first people to email in will get a chance to attend the screening.
