SUMMARY:Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Slovak Animation at Culture Night 2025
DESCRIPTION:Cork International Film Festival celebrates Culture Night 2025 with 2 programmes of Animated Slovak Short Films. \nCurated by the Slovak Film Institute\, the Slovak Animated Shorts programme features twelve remarkable Slovak animated films. Programme 1 is intended for young viewers\, while Programme 2 is aimed at adults. Together\, they showcase a rich variety of storytelling and animation styles – from hand-drawn and puppet animation to stop-motion and digital techniques. These films explore a wide range of themes\, including instructional\, educational\, advertising\, and environmental subjects. \nThe legacy of Slovak animation pioneer Viktor Kubal\, often regarded as the father of Slovak animation\, resonates throughout the collection. His films are presented alongside that of other prolific animators such as Vladimír Pikalík and Jaroslava Havettová. \nSpanning from 1955 to 1990\, the selection offers a window into the rich history of Slovak animation. Sometimes surreal\, at other times thought-provoking or purely entertaining – but always captivating – these shorts will surely engage and delight audiences of all ages. \n
