VILIAM
r. Veronika Obertova

First of all, we wish to commend the Animafest, making us happy and giving us an opportunity each year to see the works of our colleagues from all over the world. Some films thrilled us with their plot, some with their animation, and some with innovation.The decision was not easy, but we managed to agree on one. The film bringing paper to life fascinated us with a creative approach to animation – Viliam by Veronika Obertova from Slovakia. Our very special praise goes to all the featured filmmakers.
