THE WORLD’S FIRST FILM FESTIVAL OF ANIMATED DREAMS!

Have you ever wondered how to imagine someone else’s dream? How do you show your dream to someone?

Animation is one of the art forms closest to representing a dream. Animation can jump from a train to a whale’s back in a second; a woman can transform into a golden bee in a blink. The magical transformations and free associations of the mind are visual techniques of both dreams and animation.

1. Choose one of the dreams from the three listed here, just click on the numbers:

Only one entry per participant is allowed. The deadline for submission is April 30, 2024.
Feel free to animate the dream's story in any possible way, in any narrative style or animation technique. If you use AI software for the animation, we are curious to see, but please be transparent about it.

The favourite animations of the jury will be notified by 10 May 2024, and these selected films will be screened to a small audience on 25 May 2024. We will announce the three winners and notify them the following day.

We do not offer a screening fee.
