The London International Animation Festival (LIAF) returns to the heart of London with an exciting, intriguing, inspiring, sometimes controversial, thoroughly comprehensive collection of animation from 21 to 26 August. This is the UK's fastest growing animation festival, only in its fourth year, but the largest festival of its kind in the UK. The best, new animation in the world will be brought to London audiences with over 200 films, most of them British premieres, represented in a series of amazing programmes and satellite events. LIAF 2007 promises an exciting and eventful six days of the best in local and international animation. With films from 28 countries LIAF will proudly showcase the whole spectrum of creative animation, showing that animation is so much more than slick blockbusters and special effects. LIAF 2007 is sure to challenge, engage and inspire its audience through a comprehensive presentation of outstanding animated shorts. This year we are very proud to be screening a special programme of films at the Horse Hospital.
