    Hello everybody, Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival has some great news. One of the greatest animation directors, Barry Purves, has agreed to do a guest talk for our festival. He made a beautiful Japanese-themed short film ‘Screenplay’ in 1992. At the event he is going to talk about the making of the film and his current work. Tim Allen will be the interviewer.

    This event will be held at 20:00hrs on Saturday November 27th. We are also arranging a book signing event too.

    The Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival 2010 has been announced and will take place from the 26th – 28th November at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, South Wales, UK.

    “We really hope it’s a big success and will lead to closer working relationships between Wales and Japan. We are in negotiation with various special guests to come along and give workshops and talks for the general public and anyone who is interested in getting into the animation industry.”
