For 16 years, The Animation Show of Shows has been created curated and presented by Ron Diamond, to introduce new and innovative short films exclusively for animation studios, societies, schools, and festivals around the world. Each year over 3,000 animated shorts are created, some of which take years to complete, but only a handful are seen outside the inner circles of the animation community. The Animation Show of Shows is Ron’s vision to heighten the exposure for this extraordinary art form and entertainment platform and to allow international audiences to experience these in a theatrical environment with other peers that share the same passion for animation.The techniques of these innovative films range from hand drawn, paint on glass and stop motion, to the latest computer generated imagery, with its ability to conjure entire worlds with astonishing verisimilitude. Together these films capture, in the words of Andrew Stanton, director of Finding Nemo, “all the wit, cleverness, integrity, warmth and humor that humanity is capable of,” and have a universal appeal that makes them ideal for sharing with family and friends. The 17th Animation Show of Shows, curated by Ron Diamond and presented by Acme Filmworks, will screen Friday Oct 16th at 2:30 PM in Bridges Theater.RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-17th-annual-animation-show-of-shows-ucla-animation-workshop-tickets-18981897366 |
