animate! manipulates the *Environments* theme of this year’s Lovebytes International Festival of Digital Art & Media and presents a dynamic, diverting, sometimes disturbing but always hugely imaginative exploration of urban lives and locales.

Nine wide-ranging films in this programme, selected from the ever-expanding catalogue of animate! commissions, reveal fresh perspectives of the city:

[13](https://animate.org.uk/films/13/) by Simon Faithfull, [Black, White & Green](https://animate.org.uk/films/blackwhiteandgreen/) by Ian Bourn, [Dad’s Dead](https://animate.org.uk/films/dadsdead/) by Chris Shepherd, [Ferment](https://animate.org.uk/films/ferment/) by Ian Macmillan, [Flight](https://animate.org.uk/films/flight/) by Dryden Goodwin, [The Nuclear Train](https://animate.org.uk/films/nucleartrain/) by Daniel Saul, [Soho Square](https://animate.org.uk/films/sohosquare/) by Mario Cavalli, [Stressed](https://animate.org.uk/films/stressed/) by Karen Kelly and [What She Wants](https://animate.org.uk/films/whatshewants/) by Ruth Lingford.
