GLAS Animation Festival Unveils 2018 Signal Film

New signal film for the third annual edition of the Berkeley, CA-based festival is directed by Tel-Aviv based illustrator, animator and avid doodler Ori Toor with music and sound by Skillbard.

The GLAS Animation Festival has unveiled a new signal film for its third annual edition directed by Ori Toor, and featuring music and sound by Skillbard.

Toor is a Tel-Aviv based illustrator, animator and avid doodler who deals mostly with experimental 2D animation and obsessively drawing heaps of noodle-y landscapes and shapes. He recently completed a music video for the track “Little Bugs” by Los Angeles-based musician and painter Jeremy Daly (aka Marias), and his “Loopism” project featuring gritty low-fi animations of surreal creatures has been featured all over the web. Studio Skillbard is headed by Vincent and Tom, a friendly team of composers and sound designers based in London.

GLAS 2018 will be held March 22-25 in Berkeley, CA. With the event rapidly approaching, organizers will soon be announcing competition selections, curated programs, special guests, and the complete festival schedule. In the meantime, passes for GLAS Animation Festival 2018 are now on sale!
