Animation Is Film’s ninth edition will run from October 16‑19, showcasing a slate of animated shorts that includes Leah Nelson’s “Tangles,” Louis Clichy’s “Iron Boy” and the collaborative work “The Violinist” by Ervin Han and Raúl García. The festival’s main programming will be held at the TCL Chinese 6 Theaters in Hollywood, California.
“Tangles,” directed by Leah Nelson, joins Louis Clichy’s “Iron Boy” and the co‑directed piece “The Violinist” as highlighted titles in the lineup. Each film represents a distinct creative voice within contemporary animation, offering audiences a range of storytelling styles.
The four‑day event will feature screenings, panels and networking opportunities for filmmakers and industry professionals. While the core schedule centers on the Hollywood venue, additional programming may be offered at partner locations, though details have not been released.
Animation Is Film, an annual showcase dedicated to short‑form animation, has grown into a key platform for emerging and established creators to present their work to a broader audience.
Organizers have not disclosed further specifics about the festival’s expanded components, but the inclusion of these new titles underscores the event’s continued commitment to highlighting innovative animated storytelling.
