NW ANIMATION FESTIVAL 2012: Call For Submissions
From our friends at Northwest: The NW Animation Festival is now accepting entries for 2012. Films from anywhere in the world are welcome. The event will be held in Portland Oregon on the weekend of May 18-19. Early deadline December 15, final deadline April 1. See website for details: www.nwanimationfest.com
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
In our first year, we screened 78 films from 9 countries, including two from Oscar nominees. We aim to make our second year even grander.
We showcase the breadth of the animation world. All methods are represented: hand-drawn, computer-generated, stop-motion, pixilation, and experimental hybrids. All styles are welcome: hilarious, heart-warming, dark, cerebral, or abstract. We make a point of showing films both from masters and remarkable amateurs.
This is a festival created by animators, for animators, and all lovers of animation. We bring together and inspire a community of artists, and expand audiences’ understanding of what can be done with the art form.
