The 8th annual Spark Animation Festival, hosted by Spark CG, takes place this year October 21-25. Part conference and part festival, SPARK ANIMATION thrives on bringing together industry experts with newcomers, and that principle extends into the festival which provides a showcase for both established filmmakers and fresh new talent. With an eclectic mix of styles and languages, SPARK ANIMATION has become the premiere animation festival in Vancouver.
