Much loved indie animator and frequent guest of LIAF – Chris Shepherd – has spent the last four years working on his debut graphic novel ‘Anfield Road’ which will be released this October – a funny and poignant coming-of-age story set in Liverpool in 1989, the land of The La’s, the Hillsborough disaster and Findus Crispy Pancakes. Inspired by its release, this programme is a collection of classic animated shorts that have been adapted from literary sources.
