Acoustic Convergence
Shorts Program
A simultaneously meditative and manic reflection on nature, humanity and our physical realms through the convergence of sound, vision and motion. This selection of short films explores our terrestrial and celestial worlds with evocative sound design, unusual storytelling, and non-traditional mediums.
Stars In Our Eyes
Shorts Program
An eye-opening kaleidoscope of films that traverse worlds—from inner explorations and external migrations to existential reckonings and age-old divides. It takes light to see; it takes light to shine.
The Underground Picnic
Shorts Program
Art videos, films and motion graphics form this collection of shorts that celebrate queer and femme filmmaker artists. A spiky lemon, a pond as a sex toy and all things outside binaries considered.
London International Animation Festival 2019

An animated “Best of” the 2021 London International Animation Festival, making a rare U.S. appearance! From hand drawn, paint on glass, collage, sculpture, cut outs, puppets, abstract, sand/salt, to some of the more interesting developments in CGI—all of which can be seen in these 10 films which screened at LIAF 2021.
