For the last few years, the National Film Board has been celebrating International Animation Day with a series of free screenings, workshops and master classes aimed at celebrating the long running tradition of award winning Canadian animation.
This year’s events run between October 28th and November 7th with the roadshow making a pitstops in Toronto (October 26–31), Montreal (October 28–31), Winnipeg (October 28–31), Edmonton (October 28), Halifax (October 28–29, November 6–7), Moncton (October 31) and Calgary (November 6–7).
The Vancouver screenings are taking place at the Vancity theatre (three screenings in all), with master classes (the Vancouver class is hosted by Matthew Talbot-Kelly, the director of The Trembling Veil of Bones) and presentations taking place at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design on Granville Island and best of all, it’s all free!
There’s loads of information on both the Vancouver and other screenings taking place across the country at the official Get Animated website.
