Festival Description: ETER International Anima Festival is a new chapter in Łódź’s animated film festival scene. Set in the industrial space of EC1 Łódź – City of Culture, a venue deeply connected with the heritage of the legendary Se-ma-for Studio, the festival creates a vivid dialogue between the tradition of stop-motion animation and the possibilities of contemporary 3D techniques.
