Programme

Competition Programme

On its 7th edition FAB 2023, we will once again present a selection of outstanding international and regional animated films touching hearts and minds. As always, the focus is on the short, artistic animated film in our competitions: German Animation, International Animation, New Talents and Pink Panda. In addition, this year there is again a competition for Commissioned Animation and, for the first time since 2018, an Animated Feature competition with three international animated film productions.

Supporting Programme

This year’s supporting programme focuses on Pop-Up Festivals and Future Visions in animation. For the first time we are offering our popular numerous workshops, talks, panels, masterclasses, presentations and networking events as part of the new Berlin Animation Hub. Two great workshops for kids, satellite events and opportunities to celebrate and network at our festival parties and receptions round out the festival happenings.

Exhibition

Funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Community, our very own exhibition FAB Dimensional starts into the 4th round with cross-media and interactive animation projects beyond the cinema screen. This year‘s exhibition shows eleven international artistic positions that use very different approaches to make animation tangible in space, invite to interaction and amazement. The 4th FAB Dimensional will open on the evening of 28.9. at silent green Kulturquartier.
