We will have the chance to watch Oscar Nominated Shorts (short Oscar-nominated animated films), the best Slovakian animations (prepared by the Slovak Film Institute and Fest Anča International Animation Festival to mark the 25^th anniversary of Slovakian Animation) and prizewinning animations from the following festivals: the International Film Festival Etiuda&Anima (Poland), Anima - The Brussels Animation Film Festival (Belgium), the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (France) and the Volda Animated Film Festival (Norway).

We will also be screening some of the latest animated feature films, including an Oscar-nominated, hand-painted story of Van Gogh, Loving Vincent (dir.
