The world's best animation lands in L.A. at the Animation Is Film Festival

The Animation Is Film Festival showcases the breadth of international animation so L.A. audiences can experience the range the art form has to offer.

Animation Is Film Festival founder and GKids CEO Eric Beckman is excited because he believes the best animation hasn’t been made yet.

“The whole purpose of the festival is to help support and broaden this much wider idea of what animation and the possibilities of animation can be,” said Beckman, who is thrilled by the breadth of this year’s lineup.Produced by GKids in partnership with Annecy International Animation Film Festival, this year’s event will feature a mix of buzzy titles and lesser known gems, presented along with filmmaker Q&As, special screenings, retrospectives, sneak peek “making of” presentations and more.

Beckman explains that it’s not unusual that Animation Is Film’s lineup includes a number of Japanese and European works because of their existing markets and infrastructure. Beckman also points to “Bombay Rose” from director Gitanjali Rao, a hand-painted ensemble romance, and Anca Damian’s “Marona’s Fantastic Tale,” about the life of a little dog, as films that are “visually unlike anything that people are typically used to, where the animation style is crafted by the filmmaker to tell a really specific story.”
