We were treated to a Secret of Kells screening a few weeks back. The film, now nominated for best animated film of the year (which I think it deserves) was directed by Tomm Moore. Friends of ASIFA-East, Spoiler Alert Radio, interviewed him recently and you can listen to it here.
Our friends from Siggraph passed this along. MetroCAF 2009 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ************************************************ DEADLINE: June 1st, 2009 (postmarked) http://www.metrocaf.org/2009 MetroCAF is the annual NYC Metropolitan Area College Computer Animation Festival organized by the New York City chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH. Started in 2003, MetroCAF has grown into the most important local festival of its kind. It provides an exciting opportunity for all students in the NYC metropolitan area to show their work to not only their fellow students, but also to professionals in the field of computer graphics. Plans are under way for the festival to tour the network of ACM SIGGRAPH Professional and Student Chapters so this could mean international exposure for your digital animations. This seventh edition of the festival is open to all students who attend college in the NYC metropolitan area, and who have produced computer animation, visualization or visual effects within the course of your studies (in other words, you haven’t been paid for it). Schools are considered to be within the NYC metropolitan area if they are located within a 75-mile radius of Times Square in Manhattan. SHOWTIME: October 1st, 2009 7PM – FIT Haft Theater – NYC
