I go to many of their events and I was really excited to attend this one because I love animation. I\u00a0have been watching French films for years,\u00a0and I find them refreshingly diverse and smart.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend was a collection of film screenings, including feature-length animations and shorts, as well as talks, an AR gallery, a VR gallery, events for kids, and an opening night party. And the event planners at FIAF ended up adding additional screenings and events.<\/p>\n<p>When I heard about the weekend event, I wrote down a whole list of films I wanted to see. Unfortunately, I only ended up going to a presentation of 3-D short films, followed by a short talk, a feature-length animation, another talk, and I viewed the AR gallery. I also got a free poster.<\/p>\n<p>My initial list of films included: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2368672\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miniscule<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt3666024\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Red Turtle<\/a>\u00a0plus a\u00a0talk, a few 3-D short films, <a href=\"http:\/\/lastman.tv\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Man<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/09\/22\/movies\/22rena.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renaissance<\/a>, Day of the Crows, more short films, and probably another talk. I ended up only seeing <strong>Day of the Crows<\/strong>, as well as the 3-D films I mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p>It may be possible to see some of these films above, but Day of the Crows\u00a0did not seem to be\u00a0currently available in the US, which is why I wanted to see it.
