The next Holland Animation Film Festival will take place in Utrecht,
the Netherlands, November 15-19, 2000. Since 1985 this biennial
festival has aimed to be an intermediary between animators and the
business world, in addition to including film screenings,
retrospectives and theater programs. In the competition for applied
animation, films can be entered in the following categories:
publicity and promotional films; music videos; educational and
information films; station calls/idents and trailers; and publicity
campaigns. The new competition for independent animation is divided
into two categories: narrative film and non-narrative film. For both
competitions, the submission deadline is August 25, 2000. For entry
