The World Festival of Animated Films – Animafest Zagreb has revealed its selections in the Films for Children Competition and World Panorama programs for the 2018 edition, taking place in Croatia June 4-9.
An international selection of 44 films will anchor Animafest’s Children and Youth Program. The films were chosen by media psychologist Martina Peštaj, the editor of Children and Youth Programming with Radio Television Slovenia, who sorted the entries into four age groups (4-7, 7-10, 10-14 and 14+).
The World Panorama is a diverse, non-competitive selection of original and innovative titles that cross the boundaries of animation. It will showcase 30 films (15 by student and 15 by professional authors) from 22 countries.
