LOCAL TO GLOBAL: WORLD ANIMATION NOW
Course Description
Unlike commercial entertainment, independent animations are more akin to folk
art and contemporary visual art, and as such, are visually significant products of
the cultures from which they emerge. Visual languages, formed and embedded
over time, code the way we address topics of importance. Social justice, politics,
war, all are addressed in contemporary animation. Global independent animation
is the cutting edge form for delivering social messages. This is how the world‘s
most pressing issues are being addressed by current artists looking to reach
broader audiences.
