LAAF International Festival
The Cinefamily – Los Angeles, CA
12/3 thru 12/7/10

Animation fans rejoice — The Los Angeles Animation Festival International comes to Cinefamily, from December 3rd-7th! Cinefamily is thrilled to be working with the producers of LA’s own animation festival on this wonderful artistic enterprise — and 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, 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.

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, the red-hot Japanese anime mindblower Redline, and Sylvain Chomet’s new masterpiece The Illusionist. 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! Artists’ panels, competition screenings, parties and award presentations — a true international animation festival with something for everyone!
