In partnership with Animated Women UK (AWUK)
LIAF is very proud to partner with Animated Women UK on this special event to celebrate women in animation and VFX as part of LIAF 2016. 50% of the films selected for competition this year were either made by women or have women in major roles attached to them. LIAF handed over these films to a select panel from AWUK who spent several days deliberating over them and eventually choosing this 80 minute screening of the best, most recent films screening in competition at this years LIAF. Expect to see a dazzling array of styles, techniques, genres and stories made by the world’s best female animators working in the industry today.
After the screening a panel of women currently working in the industry will take part in an onstage discussion.
