GET ANIMATED! - Saturday, November 18th 2006

For this event we joined forces with the UK Film Council and Screen South to present an exciting programme of brand-new shorts from the Britain's most talented new animators. In addition to a great line-up of new work from around the UK, we previewed a collection of brand-new animated ultra-shorts made by participants of our innovative 'One Minute Wonder- Animation' scheme. Developed in association with Brighton's Lighthouse Arts & Training with funding suport from Screen South, Arts Council South East and Awards for All and additional support from local production house, Brighton TV, the scheme provided cash, training and mentoring to help a small group of talented local animators produce these stunning films.
