OFFICIAL SELECTIONS 2022

For this year’s festival we received over 700 short animations. We thank you all for your submission.

Animatricks strongly disapproves Russian’s military activity in Ukraine and we stand with Ukrainian people. How ever we do like the animations our Russian colleagues make. A lot. Russian animation artists make their high quality art for the international audience and it would be wrong to leave their films out due to their birthplace or nationality. As our main goal is to offer the best quality programme we can, we have decided, due to solidarity and freedom of speech, to include new Russian animated works of art in our programme. Our Russian colleagues are also shocked the actions of Russian regime and an impressive number, 658 Russian animation artists and animation professionals have unite their voice against the Ukrainian war. Read the whole statement here.
