StopTrik International Film Festival

StopTrik IFF, a unique international celebration of worldwide stop motion animation takes place in two European countries, Slovenia (Maribor) and Poland (Łódź). Once a year the city of Maribor becomes an alternative capital of animation thanks to the festival of highest quality film programme, inspiring additional events and inventive professional workshops of stop motion filmmaking. StopTrik vibe tears down the “red carpet” barriers – the audiences, guest filmmakers, and the organizers spend time together watching films, discussing traditions and new trends of animation, creating new works, and partying at the end of the day. A new kind of relationship between the audiences and the artists emerges at the StopTrik - the viewers are positioned in the role of the jurors deciding about the main festival's prizes.
