This article is worth reading, here's an excerpt:

"Personally I feel that a film should be made to feel that it's made effortless. I found some of the films I saw were trying too hard to prove themselves, thus making it very mechanical. Technique remains just technique if it doesn't marry with the story. Story remains superficial if the filmmaker is trying too hard to make a point."

Our very own annual Animation Nation is back this year with a fascinating programme of 'must-see' feature films, including The Secret of Kells, Mary and Max, Waltz with Bashir, Musahi: The Drama of the Last Samurai, A Town Called Panic and more, as well as short films, including Genius Party Beyond, Best of Studio AKA, Best of SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 and not forgetting our Singapore Showcase!

Most of the feature films are screened in glorious 35mm and Digibeta, thus it is definitely going to be a real visual treat. It is as important to watch films as to completing your projects in school, so tear yourself away from that damm computer and lightbox and join in marveling the animation works.

The event that sparked this off was the sudden cancellation of the filmmakers travelling grant given out by Singapore Film Commission.

Music streamed through the corridors of ADM as people congregated at the café, where all the action was. Dressed for the mood, she was adorned with blue and white balloons, ribbons and vases of hand folded flowers. Paper hearts were stuck on twine, a portal for thoughts expressed by both the loved and broken hearted. Sweet treats were served as we celebrated our very own friendship day!
