The festival, running December 6-7 in Los Angeles, cultivates and promotes the art and science of animation by bringing together both local and international artists and filmmakers from across the animation spectrum.
The annual GLAS Animation Festival exhibits films from local and international artists and filmmakers across the animation spectrum, creating a community and space for industry veterans, historians, animation enthusiasts, and emerging talent from diverse backgrounds to come together, share, learn, and appreciate the animated art form in a critical context. At the heart of the festival is the international competition, which showcases five curated programs of the most exceptional contemporary animated short films.
Founded with the aim of showcasing the most exciting animation being made around the world and expand the scope of how animation is understood as an artistic medium in the United States, GLAS also hosts retrospectives, special-curated programs, workshops, panel discussions, performances, and installations.
The 8th edition of GLAS takes place December 6-7 in Los Angeles. For more information about the festival, visit the event website.
