CraftAnimFest 2023 | Official Selection
The real rebirth! From the most exquisite man to the wind whisperer. The 4th CRAFTInternational Animation Festival
in Indonesia presents its OFFICIAL SELECTION.
festival in all of Asia focusing on a classic, physical approach to the art of animated films; stop-motion, traditional, craftsmanship scenography and puppets, charcoal drawings, materialistic cut-outs, skillful use of paint or sand - this is our universe. But because we love diversity, we also appreciate digital craftsmanship. Therefore, we are pleased to welcome 4 digital films in the non-competitive program SOUTH-EASTERN ASIA FOR KIDS and as
many as 17 films in the DIGITAL WORLD PANORAMA.
International Competitions and Panorama are only part of the CRAFT Festival. Equally important is the SEA COMPETITION, during which this year we will present 12 great films (6 student and 6 professional).
