The Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film and the Film- & Medienfestival gGmbH at the HFM Summer Festival!
A diverse, colorful animation film program for all.
The films highlight the topics of climate protection, biodiversity, the environment, and sustainability in visually powerful and sharp-witted animations and encourage critical contemplation in both humorous and serious ways. In the winning film “Pig”, director Jorn Leeuwerink reflects on the climate crisis with black humour and a tragic-comic tone. He succeeds in wrapping a threatening issue in playful-looking images and presenting it in the form of a seemingly harmless fable.
In “Mondo Domino”, filmmaker Suki, inspired by slapstick comedies and the cartoons of Tex Avery, reveals in unbridled rhythmic images and delirious colours all the madness of the human species, which over-exploits, over-consumes and lives in a world that goes to hell unchecked.
The Award is sponsored by Verband Region Stuttgart
In cooperation with the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) and the Film- und Medienfestival gGmbH.
Look forward to an entertaining animation extravaganza for all ages.
Please note that photographs and film recordings might be taken during the event for public relations purposes.
