2024 Character Animation Film List
This is the FINAL list of films that have been submitted and edited into the 2024 Character Animation Open Show. The films are listed in the order they will be screened during the show (determined by the order in which they were submitted). This order can not be changed.
- “Estimated Times” are intended to be approximate times throughout each night, and are intended to serve only as a rough estimate of when a particular point in the show will play. The actual time a film will play depends on when the first film actually starts, and the lengths of films on either side of the listed times.
- Due to the length of the show and the need to be finished each night at 11:00PM, we only have time for one five minute intermission each night, at approximately 8:00PM. However, there are several “bathroom break” films spread throughout the show that are intended to serve as additional intermissions.
- Films that are highlighted have technical issues. These films will be played as-is.
- Duration is taken directly from the submitted films, as imported into Premiere.
