Attendees will witness nearly two hours of contemporary student animation—stories about growing up, friendship, memory, internal experiences, the absurd, fantasy, and everyday life. The program features over thirty films created in a variety of techniques and genres, ranging from hand-drawn and digital animation to experimental projects and music videos.
