Animation Show of Shows

The animation festival called the "Animation Show of Shows" is going around - though I looked it up an have no idea if/when it is going to be anywhere else. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing it. There are a bunch of alternative medium pieces in it, including "My Love" by a russian director named Alexander Petrov. A few years back he did an imax film that was all oil paint on glass. It was brilliant and so is this one.

Also, there is a hilarious short from pixar ("Lifted") and a great pirate short called SHIPWRECKED by Frodo Kuipiers. It was done in an amazing rough and wierd ink drawing style that I am still not sure about, but laughed at the whole time.

There is also some great representation from the National Film Board of Canada, and others.
