Animation Festivals

The 2nd CRAFT International Animation Festival in  Yogyakarta, Java-Indonesia gave away its prizes.

The Indonesian festival, whose programme director Piotr Kardas says it's like a tree " In 2017 it sprouted its roots. In 2019, it will release the first leaves" handed out its own awards.

Unlike other animation festivals, awards and merits have been given to each single major technique of animation (clay, puppets, 2D, 3D etc.), by the jury of  Osamu Kobayashi (Japan), Hassan Muthalib (Malaysia), Mariia Snisarenko (Ukraine), Jamie Vickers (USA), Firman Widyasmara (Indonesia) and Koji Yamamura (Japan, but this time on-line directly from KUANDU Taipei).

Both an international competition and a South-East Competition of Short Animation was conducted.
