Craft International Animation Festival 2021 Official Selection: Competition & Non-Competition
All indications are that the quarantine affected the authors of short animated films the least. Such a conclusion can be reached by looking at the number of films submitted to CRAFT this year (more than 1800 from 97 countries), as well as the quality of the productions. 46 movies in the INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION OF STOP-MOTION & TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES IN ANIMATION, 19 movies in the SOUTHEAST ASIA COMPETITION OF SHORT ANIMATIONS, 10 movies in the INTERNATIONAL SHORTS FOR KIDS COMPETITION and 7 movie in the SOUTHEAST ASIA SHORTS FOR KIDS NON-COMPETITION PROGRAM.
The CRAFT 21 – like the animated roller coaster – will take our viewers on an unforgettable journey through a diversity of techniques, styles, emotions, and amazing artistic personalities in the contemporary animated world.
Due to the pandemic situation, this year’s edition will be held online in the terms 25-30 October 2021, but not only in Yogyakarta but in the whole South-East Asia region.
