REX is back for its 6th year! As usual we will continue to bring the most exciting European animation to Stockholm, Sweden. Dates for the main festival are October 29-November 1 and our main venue will again be beautiful Zita Folkets Bio!
The festival presents animated shorts and feature films from Europe and also includes a rich program of workshops, talks, and the Rex Student Award, an annual award for Swedish student productions. And yes, we also have a section dedicated to kids!
The Open Call is for animated shorts produced in Europe. The application for REX Animation Student Award is open exclusively for Swedish student productions.
Rex is the only film festival in Sweden dedicated purely to animated films at this time. Rex Animated Film Festival was initiated by Stockholm’s European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) in 2015. The festival is growing every year and offers a varied and colorful program of European animated short and feature films for both adults and young people.
