The 3-day Animfx symposium wrapped up in Wellington on Saturday night with Sidhe’s Big Night closing party, concluding a three-day programme that was both more varied and more directed than last year’s.
This year’s event hosted fewer international speakers, which was not surprising in the general belt-tightening atmosphere that has pervaded much of the year. Those that did make the trip were universally strong, but overall there was less debate as sessions at Friday’s conference day focused on presentations rather than panel discussions.
