This evening we are presenting an exciting infusion of animation treats:beginning at 7pm with the very best of Flip 2008, featuring winners from last year’s festival, including Skhizein, which has just notched up its 50th festival award.

Following this, the results of The Great Animation Challenge will be announced and the winning films screened in the courtyard area. Animation Forum WM, Flip and Imagine Magazine have teamed up for The Great Animation Challenge, a competition which gives animators tracks from several up and coming bands to download and animate to. The evening will continue with drinks and networking.
