In the five years since Film and Video Umbrella released the first of its regular Computer World programmes, computer animation has gone spectacularly 'overground' - boosted by the commercial and critical success of John Lasseter's Toy Story and by the continuing proliferation of digital effects and imagery within television, advertising and film.


This most-recent collection, Computer World 3, brings together some of the significant works produced internationally over the last two years, highlighting a diversity of styles and approaches (from abstract experimentation to accessible entertainment), as well as reflecting a new-found seriousness in matters of content that is encouraging in a medium that has too often been driven and distinguished by shows of technological novelty.

LIMBES Beriou (France) 1995.
THE WRONG BROTHERS Stephen Weston (UK) 1995.
GRIDLOCK Martyn Pick/Richard Wright (UK) 1995.
SLEEPY GUY Raman Hui (USA) 1994
