The festival includes several sections, depending on each year's edition, and also a rich programme of retrospectives, additional screenings, conferences, workshops, exhibitions and other events. The call for eligible animated films is usually open from May till September.
 +
 
 +
==Background==
 +
Animateka's roots go back to the 1990s when the [[Slovenian Cinematheque]] introduced a special monthly programme (curated by [[Igor Prassel]], who later became the director and the main selector of the Animateka festival) focusing on animated film.
 +
 
 +
{{Image|Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova 2018 Animateka International Animated Film Festival.jpg}}
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==Sections==
 +
 
 +
Among the sections, 3 are competitive: the Competition Programme; Elephant in Competition; and European Young Talents Competition. The Competition Programme's focus on contemporary animated film production from Central and Eastern European countries garners Animateka a great deal of attention in the larger international context. The Elephant in Competition programme focuses on animated film production meant for young audiences and attracts huge international attention.
 +
 
 +
==Festival awards==
 +
Each year, an international 5-member-jury, composed of artists, festival curators and/or scholars confers the main festival award and five special mentions (one from each member). The main festival award, the Animateka Grand Prix, goes to one or two selected works from the Competition Programme, whilst each member of the jury is able to confer a Special Mention to another film of his or her choice from the Competition Programme.
 +
 
 +
The jury composed of selected representatives from the audience bestows the [[Slovenian Animated Film Association]] Audience Award (to any film from the entire festival programme), while the children's jury grants the Elephant Award for the selected work from the Elephant in Competition Children's programme. A Special Mention is also given by a student jury.
 +
 
 +
==Artist-in-residence programme==
 +
 
 +
As its first guest, the Animateka residency programme hosted and presented Danijel Žeželj (Croatia/USA) in 2004. During the years that followed artists in resident included: Lars Fiske (Norway); M. S. Bastian (Switzerland); Koji Yamamura (Japan); Georges Schwizgebel (Switzerland); Matti Hagelberg (Finland); Priit Pärn (Estonia); Max Andersson (Sweden), a filmmaker and comics author (contributing to [[Stripburger]] magazine since 1999); Julie Doucet (Canada); Theodore Ushev (Bulgaria/Canada); Akinori Oishi (Japan); Rosto (The Netherlands); Joni Männistö (Finland); Caroline Sury (France) and Edmunds Jansons (Latvia). The graphic design for festival editions has been usually created by the artists-in-residence.
  
===Programme===
+
{{YouTube|xi_w7iQzfWE}}
  
The festival seeks to showcase animation productions from Central and East European countries (also including Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia in 2005). To this end it presents a variety of animated films in competition, including narrative and experimental films created in film schools or by animation professionals using classic or computer animation techniques.  
+
==Accompanying programme==
 +
Animateka also brings an abundant accompanying programme. It includes the AnimatekaPRO conference for professionals from the field, puppet performances, VR animations, concerts, workshops of animation, exhibitions of animation related drawings (at the premises of Kinodvor, sometimes also in cooperation and on the premises of the [[International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana]]). As Animateka hosts many authors of the films in competition as well as other guests, public talks, working breakfasts or midnight gatherings are organised mainly at [[Kinodvor Cinema|Kinodvor]] Café.
  
An international jury selects the best film, and the ''Animateka Award'' is given to the winning filmmaker. Since 2005 ''Animateka'' has also featured an ''Audience Award'', supported by corporate sponsorship.
 
  
In addition to the competition, the ''Animateka Festival'' includes special animated film screenings. The 3rd Festival of 2006 screened the animated film Raining Cats and Frogs and several special programmes: ''Best of the Rest'', showing the best West European animated films of 2005 and 2006, an overview of the contemporary Nordic animation film, a retrospective of Norwegian animation film and contemporary Norwegian short documentary, experimental and fiction film (in co-operation with the Norwegian Film Institute), ''Avoid Eye Contact'' - a programme of animation films from independent New York authors, From Clermont-Ferrand - French animation film, and ''Animation films on Human Rights''. ''Slon'' (in English: ''The Elephant''), a programme of carefully-selected children's animation films which promoted ethical and ecological values, non-violence, peace, harmonious interpersonal relationships and tolerance.
+
{{Image|Animateka Festival 2019 AnimatekaPRO.jpg}}
  
===Projects===
+
==Summer programme==
 +
Since 2015, Animateka has run also the so-called Poletna Animateka, a summer programme of animated film screenings at the Metelkova museums platform or on Gornji trg, and a series of workshops of flip-book creation and pixelation technique events around town. 
  
Each year the ''Animateka Festival'' also features an exhibition by an artist in residence (Daniel Žeželj in 2004, M. S. Bastian in 2005 and Lars Fiske in 2006) and a performance by a music group (''Srečna mladina'' from Ljubljana in 2006). Slovene artists are invited to create animated visual backgrounds for the chosen band's concert.
+
==International activities==
The Festival also aims to establish a space where authors, producers, journalists, students and other interested parties can meet and exchange their ideas and experiences. And since in Slovenia there is no proper animation film school, ''Animateka'' also aims to improve education in animation: Workshops and a yearlong course are organised.
+
In 2010, the Animateka festival initiated the ''Cartoon East'' project which connects six regional festivals: Animafest Zagreb (Croatia), Animateka Ljubljana (Slovenia), anim'est Bucarest (Romania), Balkanima Belgrade (Serbia), Banja Luka International Animation Film Festival (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and FestAnča Žilina (Slovakia). The East European Animation Award is bestowed to one of the short films, nominated by each participating country. The first award went to Croatian artists Veljko Popović and Svjetlan Junaković for the film ''My Way''.

The Animateka International Animated Film Festival is a specialised competitive festival which focuses on Central and East European animated film production. It takes place annually since 2004 at the Kinodvor Cinema and at the Slovenian Cinematheque in Ljubljana during the second week of December. Animateka is organised by the 2 Reels - Association for Reanimation of Storytelling.


The festival includes several sections, depending on each year's edition, and also a rich programme of retrospectives, additional screenings, conferences, workshops, exhibitions and other events. The call for eligible animated films is usually open from May till September.

Background

Animateka's roots go back to the 1990s when the Slovenian Cinematheque introduced a special monthly programme (curated by Igor Prassel, who later became the director and the main selector of the Animateka festival) focusing on animated film.

Sections

Among the sections, 3 are competitive: the Competition Programme; Elephant in Competition; and European Young Talents Competition. The Competition Programme's focus on contemporary animated film production from Central and Eastern European countries garners Animateka a great deal of attention in the larger international context. The Elephant in Competition programme focuses on animated film production meant for young audiences and attracts huge international attention.

Festival awards

Each year, an international 5-member-jury, composed of artists, festival curators and/or scholars confers the main festival award and five special mentions (one from each member). The main festival award, the Animateka Grand Prix, goes to one or two selected works from the Competition Programme, whilst each member of the jury is able to confer a Special Mention to another film of his or her choice from the Competition Programme.

The jury composed of selected representatives from the audience bestows the Slovenian Animated Film Association Audience Award (to any film from the entire festival programme), while the children's jury grants the Elephant Award for the selected work from the Elephant in Competition Children's programme. A Special Mention is also given by a student jury.

Artist-in-residence programme

As its first guest, the Animateka residency programme hosted and presented Danijel Žeželj (Croatia/USA) in 2004. During the years that followed artists in resident included: Lars Fiske (Norway); M. S. Bastian (Switzerland); Koji Yamamura (Japan); Georges Schwizgebel (Switzerland); Matti Hagelberg (Finland); Priit Pärn (Estonia); Max Andersson (Sweden), a filmmaker and comics author (contributing to Stripburger magazine since 1999); Julie Doucet (Canada); Theodore Ushev (Bulgaria/Canada); Akinori Oishi (Japan); Rosto (The Netherlands); Joni Männistö (Finland); Caroline Sury (France) and Edmunds Jansons (Latvia). The graphic design for festival editions has been usually created by the artists-in-residence.
