Animation is flowering in India and Africa.

Note: animated or not, if you're into skeletons and zombies, worms and dark stormy nights, you should give it a look as well. For the past few months Erik van Schaaik has been dropping hints and videos on his website about a new short he and his team are working on, something enigmatic called The Smile... At the beginning of this month, more was revealed as the project has now gone into the shooting stage, and Erik has started a funding campaign on...
