They say: Organized purely for the love of animation and with the skills of theprofessionals, Animatricks is the oldest Animation Film Festival in
Finland. This national three-day festival brings together professionals
and students of animation, as well as the general public, to enjoy the art
of animation. The first Animatricks Animation Festival was held in
Helsinki in 2000.
The main target of the festival is to show an extensive review of the
latest Finnish animated films and give retrospectives of the Finnish
pioneers on the field of animation.
Every festival focuses also on a distinguished European animation country.
In 2001 it was Czech Republic, in 2002 Great Britain and in 2004 France.
At the 2006 festival, we present the freshest Finnish and the crispiest
Scandinavian films, as well as take a dip in the history of Finnish
commercial films. One of the top moments arrives in the form the Danish
feature film Ugly Duckling and Me, with also director Michael Hegner
present.
