... more to come, but I have curated a program of short animated films by Canadian artists, from the vaults of the NFB, as a sidebar screening at the Guth Gafa documentary festival in Gortahork, Gaeltaecht Donegal (I just love saying that).  Specifically geared for children, the program hopes to introduce a whole new audience to some of the most inventive, wonderful and thought provoking films to come out of Canada in the last 60 years.
