The animate! project trailblazes fresh narrative and aesthetic possibilities in the moving image, way beyond live-action and the frame-by-frame confines of conventional animation. In the wake of the 2007 call for submissions for the annual animate! scheme (funded by Arts Council England and Channel Four) comes a monthly celebration of those who have undertaken an animate! commission since the scheme's inception in 1990.
Each month we present an artist who will screen their animate! work alongside a retrospective of their other work. This will be followed by the chosen artist in conversation with Gareth Evans. This is a rare chance to meet some of the best filmmakers, animators and artists working in the UK today, and to experience their work first hand - up close and personal! www.animateonline.org ................
