MUSIC VIDEO SESSION 8PM
Animation is an integral element in many of the best music videos. Producing them also provides a credible, often commercially viable way for animators to earn a living from their skills and still produce work they can be proud of. Here are 21 of the world’s best and most innovative music videos produced in the last 12 months in a special 90-minute programme providing a visual mash-up of styles, techniques and genres.

LATE NIGHT BIZARRE 10PM
LIAF’s annual, ever popular, irresistible, train-wreck of a programme – you wanna turn away but you know you can’t. Expect insane prison inmates, robust insect loving, an experiment involving a long spike and an ass … well, you get the picture. There’s a lot more, but these were the only plots we could publish.
