Short report from Stuttgart Animation Festival

Boo and Baa Have Company was screened in the "Tricks for Kids" section of the Festival of Animated Film in Stuttgart a couple of weeks ago. I went there for the weekend to watch some great new animation and to attend my screening of course.

The weather had been bad with lots of rain during the festival week, but when I got there on the saturday the sun was shining and it was almost summer compared with cold, cold Stockholm!

Boo and Baa was screened on the final sunday of the festival in the Metropol 1. This venue has 360 seats and it was full to the last seat! (Watch a clip from Boo and Baa Have Company here!)

There were lots of kids in the audience and they seemed to like Boo and Baa a lot! The film was live-dubbed into German by a voice actor. After the screening I got to answer the children's questions about how the film was made. It was great fun! One of the kids took the mic just to tell me he liked this film! :)

The award ceremony on the sunday evening was a bit boring for me since I don't understand German. But the good part of it was I got to see all the winning short films! Boo and Baa was beaten in the Tricks fot Kids section by the half hour long "The Gruffalo" by Jakob Schuh and Max Lang.

The winner of the short film section A family portrait by Joseph Pierce was excellent! (The image above) Very funny and grotesque! And another brilliant short is the winner of best music award Love & Theft by Andreas Hykade. Hypnotic!

All in all a great weekend in Stuttgart! (written by Anna)
