CAG Shorts: The Canadian Animation Guild Film Festival
Join Canada’s first and only Animation Union for an afternoon of 100% Grade-A union-made short films!
Vancouver is home to some of the greatest animation workers in the world, and we don’t think that we celebrate that enough. So we gave our members some time to make *whatever they wanted* for the viewing pleasure of the public! All shorts can be any medium and up to 5 minutes in length, the rest is up to the filmmakers.
*Please Note* All short films will be pre-screened in order to comply with the code of conduct for CAG 938, but we cannot guarantee that all films will be suitable for all audiences! Viewer discretion is advised.
Saturday, December 12
Doors 12:00 PM | Event 1:00 PM *Start time subject to change, please arrive on time.
General Admission: $15 + s/c
