London International Animation Festival

We rediscover some of the most celebrated and talked about films from recent festival editions that explore the concept of an ‘inner life’.

Featuring work from the UK, Ireland, Estonia and the US, this programme shows how artists use animation to engage with first person narratives and to express the otherwise inexpressible.
