Until midnight today, you can watch the experimental feature Accidental Luxuriance of the Translucent Watery Rebus by Croatian author Dalibor Barić, who was also a member of the Animateka’s Main Jury this year. We also invite you to listen to the talk with the author, prepared by film critic Veronika Zakonjšek and Animateka program director Igor Prassel.

In this year’s series Animated Documentaries I and Animated Documentaries II, we have collected 12 short animated documentaries that address a variety of topics: political, cultural, anthropological, the fate of individuals and more and more. You can watch them until 9 December, and at the same time we invite you to watch the talks with the authors of the animated documentaries, which were prepared by Veronika Zakonjšek and Igor Prassel as part of the accompanying program.
