StopTrik IFF 2018: Competitions and Panorama Programmes Announcement

Selection results for:

  • International Stop Motion Competition

  • The Borderlands Competition

  • Panorama (non-competitive section)

stoptrikfestival@gmail.com

We’re grateful for all the submissions that came to us from each corner of the world. Our Programme Director regrets excluding a lot of valuable films in the selection process, nevertheless we’re all excited to share with you the titles that will be presented throughout October and November in Maribor and Lodz in the frames of StopTrik competition and panorama programmes. 51 selected films trigger off admiration, reflection, sadness, shock and laughter, but never indifference or boredom. The cinema is about thrills, shivers, hopes and emotions. Animation adds up to this a radiant joy of experiencing intimate visions materializing in clay, puppets, objects, threads or coffee grains, or any other movable substance. It’s smaller than reality, but bigger than life!
