Expanding Animation

Expanding Animation

Under the Expanding Animation heading, HAFF hosts nine extraordinary animation installations; every one of them amazing combinations of animation, film and fine arts. These ingenious applications of animation involve new narrative practices and new ways of experiencing moving images.
In the short period that HAFF has been organising Expanding Animation, it has reached a high level internationally, featuring works by upcoming talent, but also by establish celebrities. HAFF shows a triangle in cross-over art from Asia (China and Taiwan), Eastern Europe (Poland and Croatia) and the Netherlands. Firmly rooted in their native countries and (recent) history, these art works at the same time boast an international, contemporary character.
