KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival 2007
first edition of KLIK
The KLIK foundation was a national and international force in provocative quality animation. With the festival as KLIK’s flagship, and other exciting activities happening in its wake, they brought their passion for and knowledge of animation to a wide audience. With different themes each year they were not just entertaining their visitors, they were also trying to make them think about larger issues at play in society. At the same time, KLIK functioned as a platform, knowledge hub and catalyst for the sector.
KLIK treated animation as an independent art form instead of treating it as a genre of film and aimed to make the medium of animation, in the broadest sense of the word, accessible to a wider audience in fresh and exciting new ways to stimulate the emancipation of the medium as a fully realized art form. To this end, KLIK organized the annual KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival since its inception in 2007 and a host of other activities throughout the year. Throughout the years KLIK had evolved into a brand with international allure and range. The activities organized by KLIK had become events where anyone who is interested in animation gathers and meets with likeminded souls and created a growing community where animation professionals and animation lovers meet and enjoy the medium together.
