Anilogue is an annual international animation festival, this year being held from 27 November to 1 December. Presenting the best new animations, the event will be opened by Bristol’s Aardman Studio, with A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, in which the world’s most famous sheep goes on a mission to shepherd an intergalactic visitor home before a sinister organisation captures her.
The Swallows of Kabul, a French animation adapted from the novel of the same name by Yasmina Khadra, also features at the festival, an emotional love story in the Taliban-occupied Afghan capital. The film premiered earlier this year in Cannes, and garnered much acclaim.
Also competing for the best picture will be Spanish movie Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles. In a stranger-than-fiction tale befitting the master Surrealist filmmaker, the animation tells the true story of how Buñuel made his second movie, displaying a deeply affecting and humanistic portrait of an artist hunting for his purpose.
Apart from the more than 50 outstanding films in the competition, there will be various unique animations, VR films, children’s activities and animated documentaries. All takes place at the Uránia National Film Theatre, the Art+ Cinema, the French Institute and the Polish Institute.
