“Marona” will take its first steps on North American soil in the competition line-up at Animation is Film Festival. An Intro & Q+A with Director ANCA DAMIAN will be also available to the audience of the festival taking place in Los Angeles mid October.

“With the release of her Cristal Award-winning Crulic – The Path to Beyond in 2011, Anca Damian’s presence was announced like a lightning bolt.” – reads the festival film page. “Since then, the subjects of her films – the narratives and the documentaries, the live-action as well as the animation – are united by their abiding senses of empathy and humanity. Her latest takes these traits and casts them upon a traveler of the four-legged variety.”

ANIMATION IS FILM is a major animation festival produced by GKIDS in collaboration with Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Variety, and ASIFA Hollywood.
