THE WORLD’S FIRST FILM FESTIVAL OF ANIMATED DREAMS
Have you ever wondered how to imagine someone’s dream…
Animation is one of the art forms closest to representing a dream. Animation can jump from a train to a whale’s back in a second; a woman can transform into a golden bee in a blink. The magical transformations and free associations of the mind are visual techniques of both dreams and animation.
WE ONLY CONSIDER SUBMISSIONS THAT FOLLOW OUR GUIDELINES to animate a dream story!
We are giving away three prizes: best animation narrative tools, best animation style and audience’s favourite. Each award is €1500.
The prizes are funded by the Dream Library Foundation.
