2013 International Animation Festival

Overview

While self-determination, hope, and ear-to-ear smile, might, but probably can’t make your dreams come true, there’s one technological innovation that very much can. Whether it’s a world of elephants wearing True Religions, or the heartfelt story of a widowed father’s plight to find his only son in an ocean of doubt brought to life on screen, animation is essentially what dreams are made of.

It would fair to assume then, that this year’s International Animation Festival is going to have audiences dreaming like they've never been to sleep before. From 12pm to 5pm, the State Library of Queensland will be screening a selection of films - some beautiful, some dark, a few deeply depressing, and even more that’ll have you spinning like a kid dizzy on lemonade – in a showcase of local and international talent. There’ll also be some talks of animation thrown in to the schedule, as well as discussions, and an early segment dedicated to all things local.

12noon–1.40pm: Enjoy locally grown Australian animations 
2.15pm–2.45pm: On-stage discussion looking at the past, present and future of animation
2.45pm–5pm: Discover animation from across the globe
