Darklight Festival, Dublin, 2009

Darklight is Ireland’s premier festival for filmmakers, animators and artists whose work explores the convergence of art, film and technology.

This year they invited us to curate a night of animated shorts. From the hundreds submitted for this years festival we whittled it down to a bumper 90 minute programme showcasing some of the best new animations from both emerging and established talents from all over the world.

The screening took place in the Lighthouse Cinema on Friday the 9th of October.

As chaperons to our first date with Darklight we arranged for animators Fergal Brennan, D.A.D.D.Y, Lovely Productions & Chris Judge to give a talk about the joys and perils of animationships.

We called it Animators Anonymous.

These talks took place 7pm to 8.30pm 9th October (before the animation screening in the Lighthouse) Joinery Gallery, Arbour Hill.
