SPARK ANIMATION SHOWCASE
Presented by PCCA, UVIC Fine Arts & CS
FREE
* Tickets available via University of Victoria.
SPARK ANIMATION, Western Canada’s largest celebration of animation and BC’s only Oscar®-accredited festival is headed to Victoria.
The afternoon and learning and entertainment will open with a presentation from Victoria-based filmmaker Denver Jackson, who will share insights into the making of his ambitious solo animated feature film project The Worlds Divide. SPARK ANIMATION hosted a WIP screening of the film in 2023, and the project had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival earlier this year.
Following Denver’s presentation, mingle with fellow animation enthusiasts before sitting down to a screening of Made in Canada Vol. 2, a curated short film program showcasing the diversity, ingenuity, and talent of Canadian animators.
