During the festival week, filmmakers and audiences together immerse themselves in the world of animation. Moreover, whoever wins the International Competition in Stuttgart automatically qualifies for the Oscars.
All competitions at a glance:
- International Competition (short films)
- Student Competition (short films)
- Tricks for Kids (short films)
- Trickstar Nature (short films)
- AniMovie (feature films – for adults and kids)
We also show films that are not in competition!
The SPECIAL PROGRAMME brings even more animation to the screen: premieres, exceptional feature films, series specials or the complete works of individual filmmakers.
In the Special Focus Ireland we take a look at the young, progressive animation scene of the Emerald Isle and in the German Animation section we focus on the domestic animation industry.
