Cartoons Underground in partnership with Sideshow celebrates its 6th year with a new set of awards for the best animation from the region and the world.
Five years after its inception, Cartoons Underground is putting local animation on the map with the launch of three Golden Durian awards; for best film, best director and the ‘People’s Choice’ award for the best local film.
The judges for the ‘People’s Choice’ award is the audience! They can vote for their most favourite local film during the festival itself! The panel of judges Chris Shaw, Head of Film and Animation at Puttnam School at LASALLE, Marchand Jooste, Lead Animator at Industrial Light & Magic, and the Zhuang Brothers, local award-winning independent directors.
Grab a beer and a fistful of popcorn and catch award-winning animated films by directors from Ottawa Animation Festival, Zagreb Animation Festival and Edinburgh international film festivals including Spela Cadez, Nari Jang, Javad Khajavi, and Miyako Makio.
We received close to 400 film submissions and curated 13 awesome films in two jam-pack programs curated by award-winning independent local animator, Tan Wei Keong, and Jerrold Chong titled: Not Here & Tell-Tale.
Join us for heart palpitating scenes and plots that will drive you to the edge of reality while hanging out with the creators themselves!
