On until 1 September this year (so you haven't missed all of it, but sorry that I've only just learnt of it in the local Metro to tell you) is the Small World International Short Animation Festival in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The programme this year includes KATÔ Kunio's La Maison en petits cubes and Lesley Barnes' Herzog and the Monsters among works famous and unfamiliar of the last few years.
On the gaming side of things (which I have now thought to make a label for; it will include games of both the digital and analogue kind and both musings and news), I was almost as surprised and excited as when Azur et Asmar was advertised in CITV's commercial breaks to today hear one for LEGO Games, a new range of actual, designed (though still child-aimed) games (two of them by Reiner Knizia and the reminder from British designer Cephas Howard) which I first learnt of about a month or more ago over here at the blog BrettSpiel, which now has a detailed interview with Howard. A more recent post led me to this site on Kit Williams' Masquerade, pioneer of the armchair treasure hunt and all those puzzle-picture books like Piers Harper's Turtle Quest which I'm still in love with the concept of but have never been any good at, which I'd say is enough to warrant my continued attention and a place in the Blog List (to the right, below my user info).
