According to�David Christensen, Executive Producer at �NFB North West�Centre, “Get Animated! is the NFB’s opportunity to publicly screen some of the best animation that we’ve produced over the last�year to both the general public and aspiring animators.�We want to showcase, to entertain, and to inspire. There’s a strong community of emerging animators here in�Alberta who are the next generation of filmmakers we want to be working with – and the chance to connect with them�through these sorts of screenings is something we can’t pass up.”
