The World Festival of Animated Film – Animafest Zagreb has announced the official selection results for the Grand Competition in short film, Croatian film and student film categories. The annual “festival by filmmakers for filmmakers” takes place this year from June 8 – 13.
With a focus on creative animation, from traditional drawings to stop-motion, CG and experimental mixed media, the festival brings together filmmakers from around the world. The event, established in 1972, is one of the oldest film festivals dedicated exclusively to animation. As a leading international animation event and the only Croatian film festival with such status, Animafest Zagreb serves as a bridge between the animation scene and the local audience, continually raising the level of audiovisual culture in society.
This year’s Grand Competition has attracted over 860 film submissions from 85 countries. 41 films were selected to participate in both the short film and student film categories while 19 films will present in the Croatian film competition. Complete lists of selected films are available here.
