Animation is Film Festival
Animation is Film, a major animation film festival
taking place October
20-22nd at the historic TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
This year's inaugural event will present a highly selective slate of the best animated
films from around the world, with a red carpet, filmmaker Q&As,
special events, receptions, and both juried and audience awards. I wanted
to bring one film in particular from this year's selection to your
attention, as we think they would be of interest to
your audience.
Dates
The festival will be the weekend of Friday, October 20 through Sunday, October 22, 2017
Location
Films will be screened at 6925 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, California at the TCL Chinese Theatre 6 Multiplex on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
In development for over a decade, we will be presenting the
English Language Version World Premiere of Xuan Liang & Chun
Zhang's Big Fish and
Begonia. This mind-blowing animated feature surpasses any toon
China has produced to date in terms of sheer beauty and imagery – a procession
of enormous whales swim through the skies, a tentacled creature ferries a girl
across a sea of clouds, feline porters walk on their hind legs – while weaving
a surreal and complex tale informed by Chinese myths and motifs. Additional
information on this film can be found here.
At the festival, we will be premiering some
amazing animated films, hosting special events, filmmaker Q&As, cocktail parties,
VR demos, etc…
Information on the
full slate of films at Animation is Film, along with ticketing links and
director bio's, can be found on the festival website.
