Zippy Frames

<div>Zippy Frames was launched in September 2011, with one very specific aim in mind: to promote European and US/Australasian independent animation worldwide, a severely under-represented area in film and animation journalism. 7 years later, we now have more than 2,600 articles in our Zippy Frames database, and a wide international exposure. Still, this is a personal and group effort that needs to get its full support in order to sustain itself and expand. Here's just one glimpse of the areas we cover: </div><ul><li>Instant news coverage</li><li>thorough animation film reviews</li><li>comprehensive and updated animation festival coverage </li><li>interviews with independent animation filmmakers</li><li>short films and projects in production</li><li>awards</li><li>co-production opportunities</li><li>academics and animation (conferences, symposia etc.)&nbsp;</li></ul>We are proud of our visibility, but we need your help to continue in a high-spirited manner, always up-to-date, and employing the utmost level of professionalism in what we do. Zippy Frames is one of the fine online resources on European and Independent Animation;&nbsp; our support will help sustain the efforts of our team, and give us more time and energy to develop what we know how to do best -and we are grateful for that. On behalf of the Zippy Frames team, Vassilis Kroustallis - Head Editor
