Vertigo magazine - new issue out now...

..and it includes a review of the British Animation Awards dvd Desire and Sexuality - Animating the Unconscious (perhaps a title that doesn't sit easy on a christmas present list), and a beautiful spread of some stunning images from Emily Richardson's Cobra Mist.

As ever it is also packed with vital stuff - check out the contents. Then buy it and read it.

AnimateTV 2008 new films - first outing

And last night we had a preview screening of the films we commissioned last year - seven of them! It was all a bit nerve-wracking - the first time anyone except us and the artists had seen them, and all on a big screen at the Birkbeck/ICO preview cinema.

They looked and sounded great and went down a storm.

Catch them on Channel 4 on 21 September (five to midnight). They'll be on animateprojects.org in October, and there are live launch events from November - Aurora Festival in Norwich, Encounters Festival at Arnolfini in Bristol, FACT Liverpool, finishing up at Tate Modern at the beginning of December. Actual dates and times when we've got them.
