Animated film has long been one of the most important arenas where
modern art meets cinema. Since the 1920s, animated films have been made
by visual artists from the avant-garde cinema circles. The accessibility
of new technologies pushed younger generations of visual artists
towards animation. Nowadays, shoestring budget productions in the spirit
of DIY find their way onto the art market, bypassing screening rooms
and distribution networks. The works presented in this section do away
with standard feature-centered approaches to filmmaking in order to
experiment with form and language.
