On the occasion of Saint Nicholas Day we have two pieces of good news!
Firstly, we wish to announce that we are opening the international competition of the 13th ANIMATOR Film Festival. As of today, we are waiting to receive your submissions to the main competition. And this year’s Grand Prix, the Golden Pegasus, is the truly tempting amount of PLN 45,000.
Secondly, the 13th ANIMATOR Festival Trailer is now available for viewing.
The trailer for the Oscar-qualifying 13th ANIMATOR International Animated Film Festival was created by the Polish animation artist Paulina Ziółkowska. Paulina comes from Wrocław; she studied animation at the Lodz Film School. She is the author of such films as “O Matko!” (2017) and "Na zdrowie!" (2018). Currently she is studying and working on her new films in Berlin.
The music for the ANIMATOR 2020 trailer was composed by Adam Brzozowski, the Poznań-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, co-founder and long-term member of the Snowman formation.
