and Dok Leipzig too

November - festival month

I'm having a busy time trying to fit the November festivals into my busy schedule:
There's
BAF
Flip
Aurora
FIKE
&
The Children's Film Festival at the Barbican.
I'm going to be participating in a symposium at Flip called 'Drawing in the Digital', and doing flip book and claymation workshops at the Children's Film Festival. I can squeeze in a day trip to BAF but for FIKE and Aurora I'm going to need a time machine or a helicopter.
It would be worth it because Robert Breer is showing work at Aurora and he's magnificent, both the films and the man.

The circus

Thanks to my mum, we had a family outing to Billy Smart's circus.


My partner sat on the end of the row, and here is a picture of him doing a graceful cartwheel in the ring.
