The other day Rosy and I went to London International Animation Festival, which was pretty cool. We couldn't afford many tickets so we picked one show on saturday and two on sunday to attend. On Satuday we saw 'Sacrebleu Productions: Studio Focus and on Sunday we went to Animated Documentaries with Screen Talk, and Marvellous Animations. We saw some pretty interesting things..
The Sacrebleu Productions: Studio Focus highlights included some really dark twisted animations, and a hilariously weird animation called 'Tram', by Michaela Pavlatova (which is apparently going to be at BAF so that will be interesting to see everyone else's reactions to it!)
Unfortunately we missed the beginning of Marvellous Animations because of a missed train, but the rest that we saw was very nice, they were animations for young people (aged 12-17) and some of them were really entertaining.
Animated Documentaries was my favourite screening that we attended. I particularly liked 'Devil in the Room' by Carla Mackinnon, because it was really scary and I understood the fear behind it. It was a really well made documentary about sleep paralysis.
I also thought 'Britain', by Bexie Bush, was an adorable and funny animation about politics in britain, which I wasn't expecting.
I found all the documentaries really interesting and the talk afterwards with some of the animators were very insightful and I learnt a lot about the process behind the animations.
