LINOLEUM is the biggest showcase of auteur animation in Ukraine. Apart from national and international competition programs, the festival offers workshops and lectures held by the field’s best players, screenings of experimental animation and video art, topical out-of-competition screenings, and a program for children. Our main aim is to prove that animation is not merely a tool to entertain kids but a form of contemporary art in which technological innovations — with the involvement of intellectual audience — tackle modern societal issues.
