The Los Angeles Film Festival June 16th to 24th

This year, as most years, the LA Film Festival has some interesting animation programming.

There are two reasons to go to a film festival (not counting networking). One is to see films you can never see anywhere else. The other reason is to see films you have seen before but you have never seen on the big screen.

Los Angeles Film Festival fills each needs for me. Pre Anime Japanese animation, Iranian animation and African animation are not something you can ever see outside of a festival. As for the Alice Comedies (plus an Osweld and Walt`s earliest surviving Kansas City animation) are all well known to me. But is will be nice to see them in a clean print on the big screen.
