Following last year’s enthusiastic reception of the programme dedicated to animating ink, this year’s screening turns to animating fabric. Gadassik was eager to bring together animation artists, critics, fans, textile enthusiasts, and secret knitters! The event was introduced with a short talk and followed by audience discussion.
