are also invited to join in by screening animated films,
organizing workshops, exhibiting artwork and stills,
providing technical demonstrations, and organizing other
events helping to promote the art of animation.
- Such a celebration is an outstanding opportunity of
putting animated films in the limelight, making this art
more accessible to the public.
- Full length animation films, historical features,
animated shorts, and student films, all variety of animation
art are shown in the workshops.These films display an
extraordinary range of techniques – drawing, painting,
animating puppets and objects, using clay, sand, paper, and
computer.

opportunity for cross cultural expression and communication.
