Animation Love Affair is hosting the Baltimore edition of Transfiguration International Film Festival on October 14th & 15th from 5:30-10 PM at 2640 Space! Transfiguration is a celebration of animation that is not marketable, profitable, or easy to define: it is indie, experimental, and most of all passionate about all things animation.

Animation Love Affair will also be curating the Baltimore block on the 15th and are so excited to share the vibrant creativity of the Baltimore animation scene. We highly encourage folks to buy tickets (though no one will be turned away for lack of funds) and attend - animation legend Jonni Peppers will be in attendance and all profits will go towards artists presenting in the Baltimore Block!
