Animation it is. Animation it should be. ANIMAC is here. The Mostra Internacional de Cinema d’Animació de Catalunya, organized by the Ajuntament de Lleida and supported by the Generalitat de Catalunya, is one of the most respected audiovisual festivals in Spain and sure to please.

The 16th edition program will be presented on February 8^th at the CCCB along with a unique opportunity to hear from the award-winning and internationally acclaimed director Ignacio Ferreras. Ferreras will discuss his creative process and recently released masterpiece, Arrugas, which is based on the Paco Roca comic.

It is then worth hopping on a train to Lleida, one of Catalunya’s oldest towns, and staying from March 1^st to the 4^th for the outstanding line-up of independent and visionary animation. This year, ANIMAC also launches the AnimacVillage, Open Screen and AnimaCrea, all of which facilitate dialogue, exchange and opportunity around animation film. ANIMAC is a must see for anyone who appreciates watching creative genius on the big screen.
