In the running for this year's HOPIN Audience Award, presented by HOPIN Slovenija, and the STADIONSHOP Jury Grand Prix, presented by Transfer, is a shortlist of 34 original animated shorts in the main Eastern and Central Europe Competition Programme. The decision about awards is in the hands of an international jury, with members Joni Männistö (Finland/Estonia), Mauro Carraro (Italy/Switzerland), Chris Landreth (UDA/Canada), Paul Bush (UK) and Sarah Saidan (Iran/France). The audience will have a chance to get to know the jurors through their retrospectives or their selections of films by other masters of the history of animated film, which will be screened in the Slovenian cinematheque.
