German Animation Day

Wednesday, October 10, at the Studio Cinema, is the German animation day. Ulrich Wegenast, one of the most acclaimed animated film curators, has chosen Zeitgenossen, a selection of short films from 1988 until today (4pm). Among them are Balance (dir. Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein), awarded the Oscar for best short film in 1989 and The External World (dir. David O'Reilly), that won the prize for Best Short Film at 2011 Anim'est.

At 6pm, spectators will meet with Animals United - some cute animals who save the jungle from drought, and the film director, Reinhard Kloos, will tell the audience how to make a feature of international success.
