From independent animation to special premieres, CG to stop-motion, SPARK ANIMATION celebrates the emerging influence of animation in today’s entertainment. From the roots of the medium to the advanced technologies available to studios and independent filmmakers, SPARK ANIMATION showcases the diversity of films and techniques in animation. There is a little something for everyone! All proceeds will be donated to Covenant House Vancouver for charity. Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver, through a carefully designed Continuum of Care including a daily drop-in, a 54-bed residential crisis program, a transitional living program, relapse prevention and life-skills training, has been helping youth aged 16-24 get off Vancouver’s streets. The festival is from October 20 to October 23, 2016 in Vancouver, Canada.  Last years events are shown here.
