Transfiguration International Film Festival is a collection of contemporary experimental animation. It focuses on challenging, unmarketable, cheap, humorous, independent filmmaking that lives just out of line of sight. It believes in the filmmaker as an individual with a singular aesthetic vision, and aims to amplify the untempered, raw voices of people separate from the long arm of industry and money.
It is freshly born and slippery. It cries and beats its wings. It whimpers and rolls around. It believes in the maker as an individual with a singular vision. It hides from the long arm of industry and marketability. It’s alive and coming fast.
Transfiguration International Film Festival, the only film festival where we will tell you the truth: You’re in a dream, wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up! You’re in a dream! WAKE UP!!!
