In 2017, the Liverpool Irish Festival launched the inaugural Celtic Animation Film Festival (CAFF), organised by curators and animation experts Kate Corbin and Eleanora Asparuhova. For the Three Festivals Tall Ships Regatta, the Celtic Animation Film Festival returns with a family friendly programme, between 3.30pm ad 6pm on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May at the Martin Luther King Jnr Building.
Serving as a competition platform for aspiring artists the Celtic Animation Film Competition (CAFc) leads directly to the Celtic Animation Film Festival. The competition calls for work – and particularly story telling – relating to Celtic identity, myths, cultural history and personal stories from Celtic animators from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Brittany and Cornwall and those who have migrated around the world. CAFc also welcomes international animation submissions celebrating cultural diversity and identity from outside the Celtic regions.
This is an opportunity to witness stunning films that highlight the zeitgeist of Celtic minds, activity and identity.
