ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The international festival of animation ANIMANIMA 2010 will be
held in Čačak, from 17th to 20th of November.
Festival is under the auspices of the City of Čačak and Ministry
of Culture of Republic of Serbia, and its organiser is the Čačak
Cultural Centre - as the focal point of the city’s cultural
events, the Centre provides the facilities for ANIMANIMA.
A principal aim of the ANIMANIMA festival is to affirm the art
of animation, through featuring works of national and
international authors. The works themselves comprise the most
diverse techniques, ranging form the classical ones to the
contemporary computerised techniques; they also cover a variety
of forms, including artistic, commercial educative, experimental
and other. Last but not least, the festival aims to bring
together authors form all over the world, in a friendly and
creative atmosphere.
There are three categories in the festival competition: films up
to 5 minutes long, films up to 15 minutes long, and animated
commercial or music video. Outside the competing segment, there
is the special sections (reviews, retrospectives, miscellaneous
shows, etc.), as well as the fringe events (exhibitions,
concerts, promotions and similar events).
The festival’s main award, "Golden peg bar", consists of the
money prize and diploma. Peg bar is a kind of ruler frequently
used in the classical animation drawing, and the intention by
giving its name to the Grand Prix was to preserve symbolically
the link between the traditional and the contemporary animation.
There is a three-member Serbian Selection Comitee that selects
the films for the festival, and there is a three-member
international Jury that is in charge of the festival awards. |
