ANIMATION BLOCK PARTY
Some call it punk rock, some call it grass roots, but labels aside,
NYC based Animation Block Party is dedicated to exhibiting the
world's best independent, professional and student animation. Since
the premiere of the first official Animation Block Party film
festival on September 9th 2004, Animation Block has received over
3500 animation submissions from all ends of the earth and screened
many of the greatest animated shorts made anywhere. With a loyal
and enthusiastic fan base, Animation Block Party programs are not
merely screenings—they are exciting film events.
The 2009 Animation Block Party will run from July 24-27 starting
with an opening night at Rooftop Films at Automotive High School,
followed by three days of screenings at Bam Cinematek. The festival
will feature more than 80 films, including premieres from the
world's top animators, newfound student works and the best
professional and indie shorts of all genres.
Following the Rooftop screening on July 24th, all in attendance
will have the opportunity to meet the filmmakers and festival
organizers at the after party at Bar Matchless with beer courtesy
