Kaboom Animation Festival 2025: Call for Entries Now Open
The Kaboom Animation Festival, a renowned annual event in the Netherlands, has announced the opening of its call for entries for the 2025 edition. The festival, organized by the Kaboom Animation Festival Foundation, is set to take place from March 21 to 30, 2025, offering a hybrid format of both physical screenings in cinemas and online viewings on the festival's platform.
One of the key features of the 2025 Kaboom Animation Festival is the geoblocking of all online content to the Netherlands. This decision aims to ensure that the festival maintains a strong local presence and provides a unique platform for Dutch animators and enthusiasts to engage with the art form.
The submission deadline for the 2025 Kaboom Animation Festival is October 1, 2024. Filmmakers and animation enthusiasts from around the world are encouraged to submit their works for consideration. The festival's selection committee will review the submissions and inform the selected participants about the programming and other essential details by mid-December 2024.
"We are thrilled to once again welcome the global animation community to the Kaboom Animation Festival," said the festival's artistic director, Ava Hartog. "Our goal is to create a vibrant and inclusive platform that celebrates the diverse and innovative voices in the world of animation. We look forward to receiving a wide range of submissions that will captivate and inspire our audience."
The Kaboom Animation Festival has established itself as a premier destination for animation enthusiasts, offering a diverse program that showcases the latest trends, emerging talents, and groundbreaking works in the field. The 2025 edition promises to build upon the festival's rich history and continue to provide a dynamic and engaging experience for both filmmakers and attendees.
