Animated Exeter is a hubbub of activity and has secured a spot at Glastonbury for films shortlisted for its competitions as the festival continues to big up animation in the region – it supported a workshop in Haldon Forest as part of the Exeter Summer Festival, and there’s a twinning competition going on, just to remind y’all that its work goes beyond the fortnight of festival in February.
At Glastonbury (Wednesday, June 24 to Sunday, June 28) the shortlisted films for the 2009 competitions The Best of the West, ExAnimation and Screen Out Loud will be shown. So, if you entered you could have got a Glastonbury gig – now there’s something to dine out on.
Festival co-ordinator for Animated Exeter, Rosie Jones said: “This is a great result for our festival and a real achievement for many of the local young filmmakers involved.”
Hear, hear, Rosie.

That’s very exciting, and a first I think: one of the rare occasions that the audience will be more stoned / drunk than the crew that made them. Joke.
Very good news.
