STA, 13 August 2018 - The summer edition of Animateka will bring film screenings and animation workshops to the streets and squares of Ljubljana until Wednesday. The prelude to the winter animated film festival starts this afternoon. (Official website

The first of the three workshops will be held in Prešeren Square at 18:00 today, while in the evening children are invited to the screenings of select Slovenian cartoons in Mestni Trg.

The evening programme dubbed From the Weasel to the Nighthawk is intended for children over 14 and will feature some of the best Slovenian contemporary animation films, including Špela Čadež's award-winning Nočna Ptica (Nighthawk) and Dušan Kastelic's Celica (The Box), which earned a direct nomination for the Oscar award as the best short film at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California, US.

Tuesday evening entitled The Prince, the Hedgehog and the Mosquito will present seven cartoons from all around the world for those over 7. The most beautiful films for children from Lithuania, Germany, Mexico, the Czech Republic and a Canadian-Croatian co-production screened at the last Animateka will be presented, the organisers say.

The last day of the festival, Animateka after Animateka 2018, will offer a selection of the best short animations for adults from the last Animateka for those over the age of 14. Among the highlights screened at the Metelkova museum complex will be Kastelic's The Box and Estonian-Croatian-Canadian co-production Manivald by Chintis Lundgren.

Afternoons will be reserved for workshops. Today and on Tuesday pixilation animation workshops will be held in Prešeren Square, Čopova Street and Wolfova Street, while on the last day of the festival, children will be invited to explore drawing with light at the Metelkova museum complex.

All events will be admission free.
