What’s the thing with animation? In three talkshows, animation filmmakers and art connoisseurs present their favourite films. Films that for some reason are special to them. Perhaps, the productions inspired them to make their own films or they can relate to their aspirations. Or is it the beauty of the images?
Filmmaker Piet Kroon has thought up the talkshow in 1992, as an initiative of the Holland Animation Assiociation and he will host this year’s edition again. With Douwe Dijkstra & Floris Kaayk, Wendy Morris & Vera Neubauer en Darren Walsh & Viktor Wijnen.
