3 Days in Paris
Last year AIAF Co-Director, Malcolm Turner, spent three days visiting every animation studio, school and distributor in Paris that he knew. That's a LOT of coffee, a LOT of Metro tickets and a LOT of films. This program showcases the pick of that crop. Some older films that established a studio, some newer films that are lighting up the festival circuit. Turner will introduce this program in detail, offering insights on both the historic and contemporary Paris animation scene as he saw it on this trip.
