Finnish Short Animation Online via Animatricks

 Animatricks Screen is an initiative of the Animatricks festival. Its purpose is to improve the availability and visibility of Finnish short animation both domestically and internationally.

Finnish animation celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2014. The collection comprises short animated films screened at the Animatricks Festival from 2009 to 2013 in the "New Finnish Animated Shorts" programme.

The project was carried out by the Animatricks Festival organizer, Palikka Association, and funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland. Anima Boutique was responsible for the visuals, and the technical implementation was handled by Joonas Kesäniemi of Blunt Instrument Solutions.

A very meticulous selection includes the awarded shorts Chest of Drawers (Sanni Lahtinen, 2010), The Tongueling (Elli Vuorinen, 2010), and Birthday (Jari Vaara, 2010).

Nearly 70 films can now be watched online (also in English), along with information on the films.

The 2014 Animatricks festival takes place between 25-27 April in Helsinki.
