One of the LIAF’s most important and popular programmes. There aren’t many opportunities to see British animation on the big screen and each year LIAF probably shows more than any other event in the world. This is an opportunity to see what British animators are doing, how they’re doing it and how the artform is travelling.
After the screening there is a chance to meet many of the animators, hear them talk about their films and ask them questions about their work.
Why Did the Chicken Cross The Road?
To understand this question we must first get to know the chicken, whose unfortunate problems began in his childhood.
