Film. And then some.
animation
Our soft spot for animation is an open secret, and we’re consistently knocked out by the quality of shorts that come through the door; so much so that we’ve doubled the number of animation programmes this year. Special guests include Shynola, Lee Hardcastle and the people behind A Liar’s Autobiography, and we urge you to catch Consuming Spirits if you can. (As always, Colour Box is full of animation too.)
