LIAF International Tour: Best of British Animation 2012 at OFAFA Festival, Poland

January 11, 2013 by LIAF

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 show Poland what British animators are doing and how they’re doing it.

We’re screening a Best of British Animation 2012 programme as part of OFAFA Festival in Krakow, Poland.

You can take a look at the OFAFA Festival website (in Polish) here
