experimental animation resource and UK film commissioning

Animation is so much more than... live-action

If you enjoy challenging your eyes and mind... if you are eager to transcend the ordinary and re-vision the world with unexpected tools... animate! wants you.

The UK-based animate! project trailblazes fresh narrative and aesthetic possibilities in the moving image, way beyond live-action and the frame-by-frame confines of conventional animation. No easy 'how to' cartoon manuals here, or tips on making & selling series for kids.

animate! has commissioned 84 risk-taking films since 1990 – dynamic and diverse, pure and hybrid, celluloid, tape and digital. Synthesis is what it's about.

edit About the Website

animate! has been commissioning experimental animation films since 1990. It is now developing a resource based around these existing films but which will increasingly extend into the broader area of artist animation. This resource aims to be one of the most comprehensive and highest quality data-sets ever produced for the area, focusing especially on thoughtful practice: process, techniques, goals, ambitions and genres. It will lever the existing archive of films as a starting point for identifying and assessing the wider issues.

This site intends to be the hub of animate!'s activities for exhibition and advocacy, and we plan to solicit information, updates, corrections and extra contextual material from you, the user. We also welcome feedback on our featured material, and contributions and suggestions for articles or projects that are relevant to the further understanding of experimental animation.
