Details of this year’s Blackrock Festival have been announced. The south Dublin town by the sea is hosting its first Animation Festival on Saturday 27th August.
The Blackrock Animation Festival will include free screenings of animation shorts and films at a mobile cinema in the car park of Frascati Shopping Centre. The new Terry Gilliam film is expected to be one of the highlights.
An animation workshop by Cartoon Saloon is also planned to take place in Blackrock Shopping Centre.
Winning entries from the Animation Festival Competition will be showcased at a pop up cinema in Urban Junction on the main street and will be followed by an awards ceremony.
Over forty entries from across Ireland and the UK to as far away as Hong Kong, Israel and Netherlands are currently being judged.
All screenings and activities will be free and organised on a first come, first served basis.
