Rounding Up:
It’s Truly ‘Drawing’ Near
There’s no business like show business, but throw in 109 films worth of animation and welcome to the 2024 Fredrikstad Animation Festival! This event is no sketchy affair. It’s packed tighter than a clay animation figure with events, seminars, panel discussions, and exhibitions! So, whether you’re a full-blown cartoon fanatic or someone who appreciates the ‘draw’ of a good animated film, this festival looks like it will be quite the colourful spectacle. Better brush up on your animation trivia, folks. This isn’t just a festival – it’s the ‘texture-mapped, motion-blurred, Pixar-would-be-jealous’ kind of animation party! You’ll need to pencil (or should we say stylus?) this into your calendar. It looks set to render all other festivals quite ordinary!
