Night of Animation: Diversity in Focus

So here’s the hot take: Skwigly and Cardiff Animation Festival are literally drawing out LGBTQIA+ stories into the open, and it’s about time! While other sectors grapple with the diversity issue, good ole’ animation just casually rolls out the red carpet to inclusivity. The evening, curated by the talented Luzie Ilgner, promises to be a colourful, moving storyboard of contemporary short films that not only entertain but educate. We’ll see animations tackling themes that many may blush at, and doing it with such panache! It’s safe to say, animation isn’t just for the weary-eyed, late-night cereal muncher anymore; it’s storytelling for everyone. So, get comfy, folks! It’s time to venture into the ‘Inbetweens.’
