16th International Trickfilm Festival - Stuttgart 2009
In 2008 Nik and I were guests at the 15th International Trickfilm Festival in Stuttgart. We were invited to give a presentation of music for animation and Nik played on the big outdoor stage before SITA SINGS THE BLUES was screened as well as in the festival cafe.
I would encourage everyone to enter their film in this festival. Your work will be treated with respect and if you are lucky enough to be able to attend you will be treated to lovely hospitality by a friendly, hard working staff. You can also refer back to my article posted earlier this year for more details of our visit and some festival photos.
Just as an aside, the Stuttgart Festival staff throw one of the best parties at the Annecy Animation Festival which you can read about in my article about that festival.
