Festival

LINOLEUM International Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival (from English line and Latin oleum 'oil') is the biggest showcase of auteur animation in Ukraine. Apart from national and international competition programs, the festival offers workshops and lectures held by the field's best players, screenings of experimental animation and video art, topical out-of-competition screenings, and a program for children. Our main aim is to prove that animation is not merely a tool to entertain kids but a form of contemporary art in which technological innovations — with the involvement of intellectual audience — tackle modern societal issues. Submissions for 2018 edition open March 11 via filmfreeway.com. The festival is organised by Animagrad.
