Introducing our Festival Centre: House of Animation

Visitors of last year’s Anifilm certainly remember the premises of the former town hall in the lower part of the square. This historical building with a very specific atmosphere had been empty for years but last year, it became a living festival centre. Beginning with this year, this original space brought back to life by the festival will bear the name House of Animation and will be filled with animation from floor to ceiling. The first steps of all festival visitors will lead there as they will be picking up their festival passes in the House of Animation. During the whole festival, it will host various workshops (3D animation, computer games animation, the popular KREUS workshop and, for the first time ever at Anifilm, workshop in film puppets casting), demonstrations of 3D printing and a whole floor will host this year’s Game Day which will give you an opportunity to play computer games nominated for the Czech Game of the Year award (including the third game from the cult series Samorost by Amanita Design). The space itself will also be animated by a special interactive installation by Dan Gregor – a computer game which will make you move. Last but not least, the House of Animation will host discussions with authors competing at Anifilm. And parents will definitely appreciate our kid’s corner.
