Online Screenings
Through the month of May one program will open each Friday at 7pm and run until midnight the following Thursday.
The first four weeks in May offer an opportunity to revisit the annual program of international shorts that we screened each of the past four years, and the final week offers a free program of Canadian shorts curated by the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
Screening with Carbon Arc and the Animation Festival of Halifax this week, May 1 - 7
The 17th Annual Animation Show of Shows
From 2015 with 11 films created by 20 people of many ages from many different countries
The films represent an outpouring of international and intergenerational creativity that underscores that what unites us is much greater than the arbitrary boundaries that divide us.
Ranging from hand-drawn and stop-motion to the latest computer-generated imagery, these beautifully crafted films reflect a broad range of perspectives, while universally celebrating artistic excellence and the resilience of the human spirit.
The program includes documentary portraits of four of the directors, who shed light on the motivation, process and experiences that led to the making of their films.
