Animateka Presents East European Animated Shorts
(curated by Igor Prassel)
The International Animation Film Festival Animateka was established in 2004 with the objective to improve the circulation and presentation of animated film production from Central and Eastern European countries. The important aim of our festival to become a relevant regional festival where selectors from western Europe and the rest of the world will be able to choose short animated films from countries of a low capacity production level, was fulfilled already after few editions. We are proud to present to the New Chitose public a strong selection of short animated films from Eastern European authors, that got prized at our festival, but also got many awards at other international venues.
