Event Description : Lightcube Film Society presents "Sequences : Narratives of Animation" animation film festival. 

INTRODUCTION

The history of animation in India begins with the father of Indian cinema himself. In the early 1910s, Dadasaheb Phalke created a short stop-motion animation, capturing the growth of a pea plant. Since then, though it has been relatively underrepresented in the film industry, Indian animation has been kept alive by artists and filmmakers in forms as varied and creative as can be.
While India has become a major outsourcing hub for animated films from around the world, organizations like the Films Division of India and Children’s Film Society India, along with educational institutions and independent artists, have promoted the production and exhibition of social, political, experimental as well as purely story driven animations that are uniquely Indian in their aesthetic.
Through diverse means including publications, exhibits, talks, and of course film screenings, the festival is conceived to trace the lineage of Indian animation over the past hundred years, and to celebrate the work of its pioneers and custodians.
To draw parallels of its course the festival shall also reflect on our counterparts from Spain to understand the course of this journey. This will be accomplished by brief sessions of discussion and seminar, along with two brilliant movies offered by the Instituto Cervantes, New Delhi.
