McLaren Award and International Animation programme selections
I am pleased to share the animations I had selected earlier this year for Edinburgh International Film Festival 2020. If the world hadn’t gone into meltdown I’m sure I’d have had a brilliant time sharing these shorts and speaking to their makers at the Filmhouse. These are some really remarkable films – congratulations to all!
