REX Animation Film Festival

REX is back for its 7th 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 7 and our main venue for the physical festival will again be beautiful Zita Folkets Bio! In addition to the main physical festival, we plan for an online festival and a series of additional special screening formats to bring animation to a wider audience during whatever circumstances will be in the autumn of 2021. The festival presents animated shorts and feature films from Europe and also includes a rich program of workshops, talks, and the Rex Animation 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.
