Fort Polk, La. — The arts and sciences have come together for four days at the annual Red Stick International Animation Festival in Baton Rouge.
The fest is one of the largest digital arts festivals in the country.
The animation festival, sponsored in part by Louisiana State University, began in 2005 as a way to highlight the emerging digital media sector in Baton Rouge and to showcase the links between technology, science, art and digital media.
There will be film screenings, lectures and workshops with industry professionals.
This year’s event began Nov. 10 and runs through Saturday at several venues in downtown Baton Rouge’s Arts District. Some of the events include a film competition; Cartoon-a-Palooza, where children get to enjoy their Saturday morning cartoons downtown; Video Games Live, a presentation of video game theme music performed by the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra; laser light shows; and Fandemonium, which will feature a merchant room, speakers, roundtable discussions, movies and more.
Festival passes range from $5 to $250 depending on how many events are selected to attend. For more information visit www.redstickfestival.org.
