International Programme # 8
The Digital Panorama
Saturday 26 August
7pm
This year, LIAF’s Digital Panorama takes a broader view of the ever evolving world of hi-res digital animation than previously. The programme still plays host to highly imaginative abstract digital animation but these films sit beside films with a clearer narrative structure, films obviously inspired by those immersed in the gaming animation community, works being adapted from other mediums and those creating digital art for gallery spaces.
