Our 16th annual GIRAF festival is coming up soon, but if you want to warm yourself up before the onslaught of animation, our Indie Animation Mixtape is always here for you. Bookended by past festival selections, it’s another set of mostly quite short, sometimes incredibly ambitious, always rewarding animation from recent years.
 
As always, for more films, make sure to follow our channel on Vimeo.
