LIAF 2014 British Showcase (15)

September 10, 2014 by LIAF

As usual, LIAF pulls out all the stops to bring as much new British animation to the big screen as possible. There aren’t many opportunities to see British animation on the big screen and each year LIAF probably shows more than any other event in the world. This is an opportunity to see what British animators are doing, how they’re doing it and how the artform is travelling.

After the screening there is a chance to meet many of the animators, hear them talk about their films and ask them questions about their work.
