Animovies at the Festival of Animated Objects
Emerging or unverified festival
Animovies is the film-short program of Calgary’s Festival of Animated Objects, presented by the Calgary Animated Objects Society. It is notable for showcasing international shorts made with animated objects—especially stop-motion, puppetry, masks, and other object-based forms—often in curated family-friendly and adult-oriented programs, and it is significant as part of a festival that treats animated objects as a serious, cross-disciplinary art form within Calgary’s broader performing-arts circuit.
