GARDEN CINEMA EVENT

Industry Panel: Animation 18

60m.

As we are aware The Garden Cinema membership community is not just made up of cinema enthusiasts, but also covers a large range of film creatives, we would love to help connect our members working across all departments of the industry.


For our regular industry panels, we invite knowledgeable speakers to discuss their specific branch of the industry, with plenty of time for asking questions. After the discussion, we all head into the Garden Bar, so you can mingle with fellow members.


On Tuesday 23 January, we will be joined by Michaël Dudok De Wit (The Red Turtle) and Sasha Balan (The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse), who will discuss their respective careers and approaches to animation, and shed light upon this multi-faceted genre.


Tickets are restricted to 1 per member, and available for just £5, which includes a token for a complimentary house wine, beer or soft/hot drink.


There are two Pay What You Can screenings of The Red Turtle scheduled on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 January. You can book for these screenings here.
