Animation Invasion At Norwich International Film Festival

This October 'animate!' invades Riverside Studios for the project's first Rogue Talents evening, a monthly series of 'live' events exploring beyond the boundaries of conventional cinema.
Later in the month the animate! crew, commissions, and their makers will be appearing throughout the four days of the UK's most exciting event for radical animation, The Norwich International Animation Festival.
October brings the first instalment of this extraordinary monthly programme of events and with it the opportunity to hear legendary filmmaker Nicolas Roeg in conversation with celebrated revolutionary author Iain Sinclair between screenings of 'The Falconer' (UK 1998, Iain Sinclair/Christopher Petit, 56min) and 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' (UK 1976, Nicolas Roeg, 138min).
The elegantly futuristic world of The Man Who Fell to Earth tells an earthly tale of love, loss and loneliness through the eyes of an alien played by David Bowie. Directed by Nicolas Roeg, the celebrated filmmaker of Performance (UK 1970, 105mins) and 'Don’t Look Now' (Italy/UK 1973, 110mins).
As the season continues animate! presents features, shorts and documentaries that challenge the nature of live action cinema. Guest directors, live music, events (including pole-dancing!) and discussions will accompany the screenings. Upcoming evenings include: 'Future City' in November, 'Future Worlds' in December and 'Future Sex' in January.

Editor) curates Tall Tales: Flat Lands + Waterlands, a two-part event with panel discussions exploring the ways the moving image responds to environment, featuring work by Stan Brakhage, Patrick Bokanowski, and Emily Richardson.
