The first day of the event exceeded all expectations and was marked by a sold-out screening that showcased our commitment to the art of film. Our carefully curated lineup featured a diverse selection of animations and captivating stop-motion films, highlighting the remarkable creativity that thrives within this artistic field.

One of the standout moments was during the Q&A sessions, where enthusiastic attendees were given the opportunity to interact directly with the filmmakers, revealing the substantial efforts and passion that were poured into their work. For instance, one filmmaker shared the inspiration behind a quirky project developed from a deep love for inanimate objects, while another artist transformed a simple gummy bear into an elaborate and imaginative story.
