Animation Explosion 2011 A Multidisciplinary and Multimedia Event Weds, 14th September 2011 Birmingham City University A Screen Cultures Research Group Event Sponsored by Society for Animation Studies In Association with Animation Forum West Midlands Animation Explosion seeks to examine the all pervasive nature of animation across multi-media platforms. The aim of this one day event is both multidisciplinary, but also multi-modal in its output, aiming to examine both a range of approaches to the analysis of animation, but also to identify the breadth in application through animation practice. The event seeks to provide a welcoming space for the dialogue between animation practitioners and academics alike. To this end, we are seeking both academic papers, but also practical demonstrations. In addition this event will also foster the space for roundtable discussion with divergent animation groups, educators working within the realm of animation and industry practitioners to examine the future of funding and the sustainability of animation work across an international context. Areas of research interest that this event will interrogate include: Animation Innovation Animation Production The Cult of Animation Animation Breaking National Boundaries and Frontiers Animation Education Animation in Advertising Animation and the Online Environment Animating Gaming The Lifecycle of the Animation Short The Future of Animation Funding?
