ANIMATION IS FILM FESTIVAL returns for its fifth event in Los Angeles, October 21-23 and October 29.
Event includes individual ticketed events for screenings and Q&As for more than a dozen feature films from around the world, with free screenings of animated shorts on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Animation is Film brings world animation to the U.S. with this year’s films from Japan, Ireland, France, China, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Brazil, Luxembourg, Armenia, Germany and Lithuania.
The festival also boasts sneak previews of Dreamwork’s “Puss in Boots The Last Wish” and Disney’s “Strange World.” Additionally, streaming-based films have limited runs at the festival, including Netflix’s “Wendell & Wild” and “My Father’s Dragon,” Apple’s “Luck” and Disney/Pixar’s “Turning Red.”
This year comes with an extra day, with a special “surprise screening” on the festival’s closing night, Oct. 29, instead of just one weekend of animation celebrations. While the special screening will be announced later, the first weekend’s lineup is available now at animationisfilm.com
