The screening is the culminating event of the Film Festival. Workshops and panels led by professionals in the field of animation provided insight into the form and tips of the trade. Festival participants created unique animated films using paper as the primary medium.
Festival coordinator Jerushia Graham says, “The creativity of the entries is incredible. What people are able to do with a camera, some paper, and a good idea is unlimited.” This is the third Fast Film Fest produced by the museum. Previous entries and this year’s panels can be viewed on the Paper Animation Film Fest YouTube page.
