The Keyframed animated short film screening at MIC on 28th of September, 2024, was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the unique opportunity to view seven critically acclaimed, award-winning films, each representing a different facet of storytelling and animation. What made the experience even more enriching was the chance to hear directly from the talented filmmakers themselves. Each director brought a fresh perspective to the creative process, offering in-depth insights into their filmmaking journeys—from overcoming challenges in independent animation to exploring innovative storytelling techniques. This blend of cinematic brilliance and thoughtful discussion made the event a truly unforgettable learning experience for all.?
