*BFI SOUTHBANK, BARBICAN + CLOSE-UP* Edge of Frame presents a weekend of experimental and independent animation, screening over 60 works, with many of the artists in attendance. The Edge of Frame Weekend 2018 is a unique three-day celebration of experimental animation, featuring innovative, visionary and risk-taking work in a packed programme of screenings and discussion, with premieres of brand new films showing alongside classics of animated art. Following the success of the first Edge of Frame Weekend in 2016, the 2018 edition features six new screening programmes, at BFI Southbank, Barbican and Close-Up, including a retrospective of guest artist Peter Burr, guest-curated programmes from Herb Shellenberger and Alexander Stewart, plus an afternoon of talks illuminating the processes, histories and context of experimental animation. Leading contemporary animators will present new and recent works, including Peter Millard, Natalia Stuyk, Jonathan Hodgson, Steve Reinke, Julian Gallese and Vicky Smith. Guest Curators Herb Shellenberger and Alexander Stewart have programmed screenings especially for the Weekend, exploring ‘The Animated Body’ and the highly original and influential experimental animation output of California Institute of the Arts. The Weekend begins with an afternoon of talks from a selection of leading artists, critics, academics and curators. “*Delving into the many offerings of Edge of Frame demonstrates the rewards of taking a chance, of welcoming strange ideas and experiencing new things.*” - Little White Lies The Edge of Frame Weekend 2018 is curated by Edwin Rostron, and is supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation, Royal College of Art, and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
