Screening contains flashing and flickering images

Supported by Arts Council of Wales, Gritty Realism held animation workshops across Wales at, Chapter, Riverside Community Centre and the Aber Valley and created a film combining amateur cine clips and scratched animation to highlight the work of the National Screen and Sound Archive celebrating the history of film in Wales and preserving film for future generations.

See this fantastic collaborative film for the first time!

To accompany the collaborative scratch film, Cardiff Animation Festival has put together a programme of animated short films that use the same scratch technique. From abstract colourful worlds to informative documentaries the programme showcases how filmmakers use this technique to create beautiful stories and animation on film.
