Ten women animation artists show with their works that animated film creates magical approaches to people, worlds and situations. It is able to convey emotions particularly forcefully or to remain deliberately distant, it creates an overview and allows us to look deep into the heart.

This year’s programme, “On Travelling, Matters of the Heart and Peripheries”, deals with love of life down to fear of life, revisits old myths and describes modern encounters. Not only does it tell stories, but it also demonstrates the diversity of the techniques these women artists apply. Animation is diverse, as are the ideas, concepts and appeals of these women artists. Their technical means for this are just as exciting as the content they have chosen. Thus “On Travelling, Matters of the Heart and Peripheries” also becomes a journey through the diversity of artistic creation, which continues in the audience’s eye.
