Insight into cartoon making

Starting from October 28, Moscow will turn into a stage for screening dozens of international animation works, as the Big Animation Festival kicks off in the capital.

The cartoon marathon will not only provide a chance to get to know the latest creations of the world`s best animators, but also offer master-classes and lectures by professionals in this well-loved artform.

This year, the festival`s Cartoon Factory project which in previous years aimed to give schoolchildren an insight into the creation of animated films, is set to broaden its boundaries and host a series of serious educational events for high school students.

Within the framework of the festival program, a "PRO animation" display will uncover the techniques behind the process of making a cartoon. The exhibition will showcase the latest equipment used to bring animated characters to life.

If the event`s track record is anything to go by, this year`s edition of the Big Animation Festival promises to draw thousands and prove a huge hit attracting adults, children and whole families.

The festival will run until November 7.
