Korean panorama
Sunday 27 August
3pm
Working predominantly in drawn, puppets, 2D, 3D and Flash, the real charm and uniqueness of much Korean animation is its unusual narrative structures – a kind of ‘logic-but-with-a-twist’ approach to delivering a story.
The incredible skill, the grasp of the craft of making animated films and the attention to detail are also unmissable hallmarks of Korean animation – and of this programme.
