Description

From 17 to 19 September 2021 Wroclaw will host the International Children and Youth Animated Film Festival HALO ECHO, which is the occasion to present cinematographic works of this genre made by the youngest artists.

The guests of the festival, especially the youngest amateurs of animated films, will be able to admire films made by children, participate in concerts, meetings with artists and film workshops. The workshops will be an opportunity to realise their artistic ideas under the eye of professional animated film artists, who will introduce them into the mysteries of the art of filmmaking and will help them produce their own short films.

During the meetings there will be an opportunity to watch the films made by the most experienced child artists; the pieces which received many awards in different film festivals. HALO ECHO Festival is the most popular Polish festival of films made by children. Last year it showed more than 200 animations presenting children’s problems, emotions and passions. Of varying duration and made with use of different animating techniques, they constitute a fascinating and diverse phenomenon.

The children-made films with their universal charm have gained the admiration of the audience of all ages, and especially of the authors’ peers.

HALO ECHO Festival is organised by the European Foundation for Film Education in cooperation with Audiovisual Technologies Centre, Lower Silesian Film Center and co-financed by the Culture Department of the Municipal Office of Wrocław.
