April Ip wrote this story about GIRAF Animation Festival in the Calgary Journal. Featuring Joe Kelly, the article details Kelly’s Opening Performance on the First Day of the Festival! Come see Joe Kelly + Caveaged’s Live Performance on Wednesday, November 2nd behind the abandoned pharmacy just off 17th avenue. It should be a renegade, experimental display of animation literally hitting the streets of Calgary!

Join us at the Glenbow Museum for the Premiere of the Chris J Melnychuk Animation Project – at the Watch Me Move Animation Show Launch Party!
We will be premiering this brand new film, telling of Chris’s battle with cancer, collaboratively completed by 19 Calgary animators.   This is your chance to see not only this important film, but to visit the Glenbow’s Watch Me Move Animation Show (for pay what you can), the biggest animation exhibit in the world, on its only Canadian stop for the next 5 years!  GIRAF will be on-site, stop by and grab a hot off the press programme, and attend one of the hottest party’s this year, to the sounds of Samantha Savage Smith.  Dress your best, and enjoy this special evening with us!
