In this special screening curated by Animate Projects a selection of some of the most Innovative animated short films from the annual Ars Electronica festival in Linz will be presented. The festival is one of the most important electronic art festivals in the world.

The theme for the 2012 festival was THE BIG PICTURE. Occupying the focal point is the effort to identify all-encompassing images that capture the world that’s coming to be, Big Pictures that do justice to the progressive globalization and interrelatedness of our world, ones that capture its contradictions and flaws as well as ways in which people are coming together. By showcasing inspiring best-practice examples from art and science, this year’s festival is a call for a new, open-minded way of considering the development of a viable vision of our future—how such a Big Picture ought to be composed and how it might become reality.
