Viet Film Fest
🎬✏️🖥️ Animation Panel + Screening After the screening of the animated short film set “Drawn to the Screen”, join a special industry panel moderated by Andy Cung (Sony Pictures Animation). Panelists include storyboard revisionist & illustrator Christine LêSantos, director/animator Emily Vu (Conductor's Crescendo), and co-director Ivan Gozali (Little Persimmon), discussing their creative processes, inspirations, and experiences in animation. 📅 Saturday, October 11, 2025 ⏰ 1:30 PM PDT Get your tickets, link belowvietfilmfest2025.eventive.org/schedule/68a57f83fa4363d8f36e9ff0 🎥 For two consecutive years, Viet Film Fest has broken its own record number of animated short film submissions and acceptances. This in-person version of “Drawn to the Screen” will showcase seven of the ten animated shorts that were accepted to VFF this year (the exceptions: The Boy Who Cheated Death, Someone Special, and Xanh – all of which are playing in other short film sets) From student films such as Conductor’s Crescendo, Re:connection, and These Yellow Stars of Ours; independent works like Ba Noi and Little Persimmon; truly avant garde pieces in The Tale of Trần Thanh Dương; and a film from a major Vietnamese animation studio in Zombie Lag – 15 Minutes Before Apocalypse, animators of Vietnamese descent have been breaking into the world of animated cinema on their own terms. Together, these films will remind audiences of the versatility of animated moviemaking, and how animation can express ideas unbounded by our reality. ... See MoreSee Less
