If you’re an animation fan like me, you won’t want to miss this event. The producers of LA’s own animation festival have teamed up with The Cinefamily<\/a> to bring an exceptional selection of animated films to our community.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to The Cinefamily web site, “this year’s events include the U.S. premiere of the new Jan Švankmajer feature, Pixar’s Teddy Newton discussing his acclaimed hand drawn\/3D\/CG short Day & Night<\/em>, plus guest of honor Will Vinton presenting his short films, specials, commercials and a 25th anniversary screening of his 1985 Claymation feature The Adventures of Mark Twain<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And that’s only the beginning; the fest will premiere screenings of high-quality contemporary international animated features, including the new Chinese independent feature Piercing 1<\/em>, the red-hot Japanese anime mindblower Redline<\/em>, and Sylvain Chomet’s new masterpiece The Illusionist<\/em>. In addition, musician \/ artist \/ filmmaker Brent Green will narrate and perform the soundtrack of his new mixed media movie, and we’ll close the fest with a live rock ‘n roll soundtrack to the trippy cult classic Fantastic Planet<\/em>! Artists’ panels, competition screenings, parties and award presentations — a true international animation festival with something for everyone!”<\/p>\n

To learn more about each of these films and associated festival programming, I encourage you to visit The Cinefamily web site<\/a>. You can also watch the festival trailer below.<\/p>\n
