<strong>The London International Animation Festival (LIAF14)</strong>

<strong>Barbican Cinema, Barbican Centre, UK</strong>

<strong>Box Office&nbsp;</strong><strong>0845 120 7527</strong>&nbsp;

<strong>Fri 24 Oct</strong>&nbsp;<strong>&ndash;&nbsp;Sun 2 Nov</strong>

The London International Animation Festival (LIAF14) returns to the Barbican with a whopping 10-day celebratory feast of forums, workshops and over 200 of the best recent, historical and retrospective animated films from around the world. This year&rsquo;s uncompromising programme promises to inspire and delight - and also challenge the notion that animation is merely for the 3D-CG blockbuster genre. Indie animation is an artform that continues to thrive and develop as a breathtaking medley of styles, materials, techniques and production - from hand drawn, paint on glass, collage, sculpture, cut outs, puppets, abstract, sand/salt, solely digital to some of the more interesting developments in 3D &ndash; all of which can be seen at this year&rsquo;s LIAF.



&nbsp;<em>Rocks in My Pockets&nbsp;dir Signe Baumane</em>

Guests include world-renowned animators Andreas Hykade (Germany), Priit Tender (Estonia), Ulo Pikkov (Estonia) and Steven Woloshen (Canada) who will deliver workshops and screenings. LIAF14 will also screen the UK Premieres of the acclaimed feature films&nbsp;<strong><em>Rocks in My Pockets</em></strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Signe Baumane (USA) and&nbsp;<strong><em>The Boy and The World</em>&nbsp;</strong>&ndash; Ale Abreu (Brazil) which scooped top awards at this years Annecy, France and Ottawa, Canada animation festivals. As well as the usual competitive collections of the best, most recent short animated films from every corner of the world LIAF 2014 will also screen special programmes celebrating the centenary of&nbsp;<strong>Norman McLaren</strong>&nbsp;- the worlds most influential animator, and&nbsp;<strong>3 Days in Paris</strong>&nbsp;&ndash; two screenings staking a claim for Paris as the animation capital of the world.
