The 2022 Ottawa International Animation Festival's Sponsorship Reel celebrates the return to in-person events with a mix of 2D, 3D, and AI animation, drawing inspiration from Norman McLaren's and Claude Jutra's A Chairy Tale. The hesitant chair in the film serves as a poignant reflection of the initial hesitancy towards in-person events during the pandemic, but ultimately symbolizes the festival's resilience and the reliable support of its sponsors and theatre seats.
