Moving On

Let’s move forward! After ten years and five editions, the time has come for significant change.

[+] Read More [-] Read Less

From now on, CRAFT will be held annually at a brand-new venue—though change is nothing new for the festival. What remains constant is the high quality of the films showcased, the diversity of animation techniques, the breadth of topics explored, and the originality of their expression. Also unchanged is the deep appreciation for traditional, analog, and material-based animation methods—approaches that are particularly vital in this era of AI expansion.
