For the third consecutive year, we are proud to present the Animation NOW! Festival, a smorgasbord of animated shorts from the world over. Myriad voices and styles are packed into six thought-provoking and artistically distinct collections of animated shorts curated by Malcolm Turner and Annie Murray.
