The “Festimation: Animation + New Media Arts Festival” is an annual screening event showcasing up-and-coming independent, narrative, documentary and experimental animated films.

Festimation is dedicated to the emerging forms of animated film and animators with creative and independent perspectives. We focus on the artistic aesthetics and innovative aspects of independent filmmaking. Our festival intersects the new inspirational techniques and expansions for cinema, which embraces the traditional and new transformed cinematic styles. We recruit and collect the works that are ambitious and unique, ranging from traditional narrative films to cutting edge avant-garde films.

20,000 DAYS ON EARTH

Friday – Sunday, 10/10-10/12: 7pm and 9pm each night

Drama and reality combine in a fictitious 24 hours in the life of musician and international cultural icon Nick Cave. The film is an intimate portrait of the artistic process, celebrating the transformative power of the creative spirit.
20,000 Days On Earth takes us deep into the heart of how myth, memory, love and loss, shape our lives, every single day. A line in Cave’s songwriting notebook calculating how many days he’d been alive inspired the film’s title. The film delves into Nick’s artistic processes, unpicking the stuff that makes him tick. Fusing drama and documentary to weave a cinematic day-in-the-life with unique verité observations of his full creative cycle.

SHE JUMPS: PRETTY FACES

Wednesday 10/15: 7:30pm

Pretty Faces is a film celebrating women who thrive in the snow. The concept for the film was originated by professional big mountain skier and SheJumps co-founder, Lynsey Dyer with the objective of giving women and girls, young and old, a source of inspiration through a unique look at what is possible when boundaries are broken, dreams captured and friendships cultivated. In Lynsey’s words “I wanted to give young girls something positive to look up to…I wanted to give them their Blizzard of Ahhs, Ski Movie or High Life, but done in a way that also shows the elegance, grace, community and style that is unique to women in the mountains.”

Advanced Tickets are available online.
Adult – $12, Youth (12&under) – $8
Tickets will also be sold at the door at the time of the event if room is available.
