The 40th edition of Animafest, the international festival of animated film, will be held in Zagreb from 29 May to 3 June, the organisers announced at a news conference this past Tuesday.
Of 824 films, 32 films were chosen for the grand competition, including "The Great Rabbit" by Japanese Atsushi Wada, that won the Silver Bear award in the short film category at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival.
Also, screened will be works by Chinese authors Xu An and Xi Chen and other international prominent authors such as Georges Schwizgebel, Rosto and Evert de Beijer or Estonian film-makers.
The programme of the short film edition festival is available on the Animafest's website.
