Description de l'ouvrage :
This book charts the history of more than 20 years of animation festivals. From Annecy, the oldest animation festival in the world, to Beirut, or the founding of the festival in Peja, Kosovo, Nancy Denney‑Phelps has recorded not just the films screened but also the people and what makes each festival unique.

What is it like to travel to China, Beirut, or Kosovo for an animation festival? Spend a week on a boat with 200 animators from around the world or be thrown off a train in Belarus? All of this and much, much more has happened to Nancy Denney‑Phelps in her many years as an animation journalist.

Documenting more than 20 years of travels, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in animation. If you are a young animator and want to know what festival life is like, this is the book for you. If you are a seasoned veteran and want to bring back some memories of festivals past, this book should bring some smiles to your face.

"Nancy Denney-Phelps brings to us the history of animation festivals over the previous 20 years. She has documented not just the films displayed but also the people and what makes each festival special, from Annecy, the world's oldest animation festival, to Beirut and the birth of the festival in Peja, Kosovo. An amazing experience that she generously shares with us throughout the book's pages."
