The London International Animation Festival (LIAF 2021), the UK’s largest, longest-running and most eclectic animation festival returns for its 18th year with a mammoth 10-day celebratory feast of forums, screen talks and 205 of the best recent, historical and retrospective animated shorts and features from around the world. As ever, this year’s uncompromising programme promises to inspire, delight and challenge the notion that animation is merely for the 3D CGI blockbuster genre or cute cartoons for kids. Independent animation is an art form that continues to thrive and develop as a breathtaking medley of styles, materials, techniques and production - 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 at this year's LIAF. 2, 400 films were entered into the festival this year and the best 80 have been selected to screen across several competitive categories in 8 International Competition Programmes such as From Absurd to Zany (humorous shorts), Into The Dark (scary shorts), Animated Documentaries, the Abstract Showcase and the British Showcase. This is a snapshot of the international indie-animation universe showing that animation is alive and well and thriving.

CALL TO ACTION: Women of Colour On and Behind The Camera is a curated programme by Reclaim The Frame, a charity championing marginalised perspectives in cinema. This season centres women of colour working in the action genre from the 90s to the present - both behind the camera: as writers and directors - and on screen: as actors and stunt performers. These films serve as a jumping point to reflect on the realities of women holding intersectional identities through stories of friendship, revenge, coming of age, and ultimately, the empowerment to stand true to themselves. In a genre historically not used to tell these stories, CALL TO ACTION aims to reclaim action for diverse and intersectional audiences.
“I LOVE THIS. Beautifully made and very moving - it made me sad and angry and proud and thoughtful - everything a film should be.

This year is the Best of Fest, as we are showcasing the very best films from all of our festivals since we launched back in 2018. Films for the Satisfied Eye International Film festival are selected by a panel made up of industry judges and regular film watchers with every film rated out of 10 across numerous categories (direction, script, originality etc); and every year the highest rated films screen at the festival. This year we will be crowning one of these films the Best of Fest 2024 and we want you to help us choose that film. Come along to our screenings, enjoy offerings from over 20 different countries and vote for each film you see; and make sure your favourite walks away with the top prize!
