Our very own annual Animation Nation is back this year with a fascinating programme of ‘must-see’ feature films, including The Secret of Kells, Mary and Max, Waltz with Bashir, Musahi: The Drama of the Last Samurai, A Town Called Panic and more, as well as short films, including Genius Party Beyond, Best of Studio AKA, Best of SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 and not forgetting our Singapore Showcase!
