Box office open for Animated Exeter 2014
Next year Animated Exeter is celebrating its new status as an international animation festival, screening competitive films from around the globe in the company of wonderful animators and artists.
The National Film Board of Canada are coming over with a goody bag of their most innovative and interesting films and thanks to our flood of competition entries, we will be providing a unique opportunity for cinema-goers to see a showcase of the world’s best animators.
Organisers have filled the festival with brilliant master-classes, dedicated a day to the mad antics of the hit kids game Moshi Monsters, and booked venues all over the city for workshops, screenings and animated related exhibitions.
It’s a fabulous programme that covers a wonderfully broad audience from mums with toddlers to techy teenagers to student hopefuls to adults who just want to watch some great animated films.
Their remit to bring animation to the wider public is not forgotten - Tal Rosner, an incredibly interesting artist at the forefront of international moving image practice, will lead a collaborative project for Animated Exeter this year with animation and media art students from the South West.
They will create a series of outdoor animated projections, soundscapes and lighting,’LIGHTSTREAM’ illuminating the independent shops, cafes and businesses of Fore Street.
It starts on Valentine’s night. A must go event.
