This year's edition of the festival was planned as seventh days event
with two film competitions: students' etudes from art and film schools
all over the world-ETIUDA COMPETITION and short animation, equally
professional, student and independent one-ANIMA COMPETITION.

Festival's
competitions programme will be enriched by many accompanying events -
one of them are Animators' self-portraits (during which, while the
artists are present, the audience will get to know works of: Piotr
Dumała, Paul Bush and Joanna Quinn). Also festival programme will show
the artists of artistic animation who after a long time making only
short films started to make long feature films: T. Burton, W. Borowczyk,
Brothers Quay,  J. Svankmajer and others.   At the beginning of the
festival there are going to be announced results of plebiscite being
prepared since March – 50 Animated Films for 50th Jubilee of ASIFA
(Association Internationale du Film du d’Animation).
Finally, at the
festival, there will appear long expected point of program:  comics and
animation. They are two separated disciplines of art which however have
a few common essential features. At present there is boom for them and
more and more people of different age are interested in them.

Within
seven days, for the fourth time, there will take place animation,
screenplay, directing, camera and editing workshops. It is very
important point of program of the festival which has good number of
participants. It is directed especially to young people (pupils and
students) but it doesn't exclude any of age group. For the workshops'
leaders we try to invite the best lecturers and artists working in film
and art schools abroad but especially in Poland.
