Skwigly
Warsaw Animation Film Festival calls out to filmmakers from around the world to submit their short animations by the early bird deadline of May 31th, 2022. The screenings will take place between the 26th and 31st of October 2022 in the arthouse cinema Amondo, the impressively large cinema Elektronik as well as open air venues around the river.
Although it’s only the 4th time Poland’s capital is hosting the event, it’s already considered one of the most important animation festivals in the country. The festival organizers, Tessa Moult-Milewska and Ewelina Leszczyńska have partnered with Poland’s most successful post-production company Platige Image, a creative animation studio specializing in 3D animation and digital special effects, to bring to life the Ex Anima Foundation and promote animated films through various educational and artistic events, the most important one of them being WAFF.
The festival’s competition program will consist of the latest International shorts and will be accompanied by special events, like animated documentary screenings, music clips, masterclasses and workshops. Previous year’s industry events include „The Cinematic Storytelling of Toy Story 4” conducted by Patrick Lin and Ye Won Cho, „Emotion and Story” with Mike Catchuela, or series of workshops about previs and games with professionals from Platige Image. The goal of the festival is to introduce animation as a mature, highly artistic and socially engaged medium of communication. The Ex Anima Foundation responsible for the festival wants to offer the capital an annual event devoted to celebrating the art of animation and hope that it will become an integral and living part of the city’s culture scene.
A Jury of 3 industry professionals will debate and choose the Best Film of the festival as well as hand out their Special Mentions. An important part of the festival’s ceremony is also the Audience Award.
