The Best of Ottawa '07

"Ottawa is the only truly independent international animation festival on the North American continent… accessible to students and veterans and everyone in-between." Candy Kugel

Now in its 32nd year, the Ottawa International Animation Festival is the largest animation showcase in North America and one of the most highly regarded festivals in the world. The 2007 edition of the fest drew from a record 2,000 submissions, from 73 countries, for its final selection of 97 new works, running the gamut from feature-length productions to student films and specially commissioned pieces. This program of OIAF highlights offers brilliant new animations by Aaron Augenblick, Signe Baumane, Jonas Odell, Anders Mehring, Jonas Dahlbeck, Juan Pablo Zaramella, Jeff Scher, Michael Langan, Shoji Goto, Bert Gottschalk, Josh Raskin, Elizabeth Hobbs and Tibor Banoczki.

Curated by Chris Robinson, artistic director, Ottawa Internatinal Animation Festival.
