First Annual

Cine'Mation: Latino Animation Showcase

 

2007 may well be remembered as the Festivals most animated year ever!  Our first showcase has exploded into nearly every facet of this year's festival. 

 

FILMS

Our staff has worked hard at finding some of the best international amination for you to watch on the big screen this year.  There is something for everyone; Art House programs alongside of more traditional family films. For those interested in the art of animation, we will be presenting animatics, 2D, 3D and stop-motion films.  Film details are below.

 

ARTISTS

The festival has collected some of the brightest Latino illustrators in the field of Comic Strips and Comic Books as well as international animators and is bringing them to San Diego!  You can currently see their works exhibited as this year's ARTE LATINO at the San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist in Balboa Park.  Don't miss the chance to see the works of one of Mexico's Greatest Cartoonists, EL CHANGO [and check out the amazing documentary on EL CHANGO that is showing at this year's festival as well!]
