Sea Slug Animation Festival is a film festival in Seattle celebrating the ingenuity, creativity, and weirdness of independent animation for adults.
Sea Slug showcases all animation forms and mediums, with a special emphasis on film. We strive to empower animators and animation fans local to British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and parts of NorCal to form personal and professional connections around animation, and to take pride in the talent right here in this neck of the woods.
Enjoy Sea Slug's "Larval Edition" mini-festival, including two shorts programs, a new feature, a retrospective feature, an artist alley, and chances to meet up with animators and animation fans alike.
