3rd San Francisco International Animation Festival
Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema
November 13-16

The San Francisco Film Society presents the third annual San Francisco International Animation Festival (SFIAF), a four-day event celebrating one of the most fertile, creative and productive forms of artistic, experimental, commercial and industrial media. The Festival will show the powerful Israeli film Waltz with Bashir, Bill Plympton's latest Idiots and Angels and seven shorts programs -- always the best way to catch the most styles, genres and topics. The Festival will screen November 13-16 at Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema.

Opening the festival on November 13 is Nina Paley's award-winning feature, Sita Sings the Blues, a beautifully animated East-meets-West visual feast that has delighted audiences around the world with its tongue-in-cheek update of the Ramayana.

The rest of the schedule includes a mini-retrospective of master animator Gene Deitch, music videos and a free panel discussion. Many of the programs will have guests, including Nina Paley, Bill Plympton and Gene Deitch.
