Banner Animacción - A Coruña 2019

AnimAcción

A Coruña, Spain


The AnimAcción is one of the artistic projects of the "Cultural Association Sen Mood of Nome", and returns in its second edition. AnimAcción is a festival of short films of animation, which shows the artistic potential of a whole new generation of animators.

Animation is an artistic discipline that offers unlimited potential in the hands of artists who want to use it, a creative and imaginative potential.

This call for shorts is born of our desire to offer the public a fun show with the intention of increasing the cultural offer of the city of A Coruña and its region.

The selected short films will be screened on Thursday 19 December in the Marilyn Monroe Hall of the Metropolitan Forum (A Coruña), Friday 13 December in the Rego da Balsa Library (Carballo) and Saturday 14 December in a cultural space in the city center of A Coruña. The public present at the event will proclaim the winning work with their vote.

The day of the screening will be the occasion to create a bridge between artists and public and meet some of the creators present in the room. We will take the opportunity to ask them questions and be able to discuss the world of animation, talk about their works and their artistic experiences.
