| BLOC ANIMATION PROJECT 2012 |
| Bloc Animation Project is a bi-annual feature-length theatrical release displaying a collection of short animated films by up and coming as well as established animators from around the World. Throughout the year Bloc Animation Project travels to different theaters to showcase the work of these amazing filmmakers. |
"From Digital Animation to Stop Motion Animation, we at Bloc Projects wanted to
showcase with the Bloc Animation Project the complex art of animation with its
diverse styles, story-lines and creative techniques. The independent animators who
participated in this film are bringing their own filmmaking ideas to a World where
the typical film viewer has a preconceived vision of what an animated film should
be like. These predetermine points of view are due to the enormous budget,
influence and success that large corporate Animation Studios have.
We are very proud to present this film as we want theater visitors to discover what
can be done through the magical world of the animated film process".
