Remembering the great Akira Kurosawa on his death anniversary.
“There is something that might be called cinematic beauty. It can only be expressed in a film, and it must be present in a film for that film to be a moving work. When it is very well expressed, one experiences a particularly deep emotion while watching that film. I believe it is this quality that draws people to come and see a film, and that it is the hope of attaining this quality that inspires the filmmaker to make his film in the first place. In other words, I believe that the essence of the cinema lies in cinematic beauty.”
— Akira Kurosawa.
28 years ago today, we lost one of the giants of cinema.
Brain Space has been nominated for a BAFTA Cymru Award!!!! So proud of @LauraTofarides and team. Go, go, goooo! 🧠🚀✨

Why are Welsh animators struggling to build long-term careers at home?
At @CardiffAnimFest, we spoke to Lewis Macaulay, Hywel Prytherch Roberts and Nia Alavezos about the future of Welsh animation, and the challenges still facing the industry:

Thank you so much @ryangaur for speaking with me during the recent Cardiff Animation Festival and including me in this article for Skwigly! We spoke about the state of Welsh animation and my goals of bringing more animated features through Wales. 💪
Welsh animation has the talent, ambition and stories to tell, so why are so many animators leaving/considering leaving Wales to make it work?
We spoke to filmmakers about trying to build a future for Welsh animation and what’s holding the industry back.

I can't believe I got to work with the brilliant @timethehobo as part of the new Emmrich AU zine. 🥹
They created the piece for my old Hollywood inspired fic, perfectly capturing Emmrich & Rook's yearning and passion for each other. ❤️🔥

Seriously, I've never had any art created for my fics before or been part of a zine quite like this. Every time I look at the piece, I'm FLOORED. Thank you @timethehobo for being an amazing collab partner!!! 🥰
