Rising of Lusitania - Animadoc Festival: The Full Programme
Rising of Lusitania -AnimaDoc Film Festival (Liverpool, 1-3 Feb 20190 is an international competition dedicated entirely to animated documentaries. It takes flight from Winsor McCay's short film The Sinking of the Lusitania (its port of registry was Liverpool); 100 years after the premiere of Winsor McCay's movie it wants to commemorate those facts in the very same city.
"One of the most common questions, that I heard, when I spoke about the idea of initiating an international festival dedicated only to animated documentaries was: is there enough of them to create a separate festival? 75 submissions from around the world and from the period 2017 - 2018, justify the idea of establishing RISING OF LUSITANIA - AnimaDoc Film Festival" festival director Piotr Kardas (Animation Across Borders) tells Zippy Frames.
