LIAF; pretty disappointing!

Went to London International animation festival yesterday evening.  It was the last screening and they were showing the best of the festival. I was hoping to see some very inspirational works and obviously new animations! but my expectation wasn’t fulfilled.

20% of the works didn’t seem to have a festival worthy quality! 50% were old animations and apparently were shown in the last year festival too! interestingly mostly coming from national film and television school … and the best foreign animation award went to a fairly old animation .. I had seen it on you tube early 2008(Muto@youtube)! Made me wonder what was the process behind selection of the entries!  there was however a few good animations that made the trip not to be a total waste of time! Watch the best British animation here. It’s a well made animation but with a little cheesy ending! the audience seemed to like it anyway.
