Description
Description | The Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS), founded in 1982, is the only major international festival for animated films in Germany and one of the biggest festivals for animation in Europe and worldwide, with about 40.000 visits each year during the festival week. It has 5 different competitions and additional curated programmes and events, and it is an Oscar-qualifying festival. More than 500 films are presented at ITFS, and another 500 films are shown in yearlong activities. Games can be played in the GameZone area, alongside with other XR installations. As part of the free festival open-air programme, films mainly from Europe are screened for a broad regional audience. Additionally, media education workshops and school screenings round off the programme. ITFS is an important place for professionals from all of Europe and offers industry related festival awards and events aimed at the animation industry. Together with the Animation Production Days (APD) and the specialist conference FMX – Film and Media Exchange, that take place at the same time, the ITFS forms the Stuttgart Animated Week. A central focus in the programming is the presentation and dissemination of European films, especially from low capacity countries. The festival aims to introduce artistic animated films from Europe to a wide and diverse audience. That is achieved e.g. with an annual country focus (2025 Switzerland, 2026: Scandinavian Countries), where the animation scene of a certain European country is highlighted. ITFS also presents Animation around Europe programmes with partner festivals, and they present our ITFS specials in their countries. It is also a priority to the festival, to invite many filmmakers and guests, especially from low capacity countries for Q&A and presentations to the festival. ITFS is relevant because, through its programmes and collaborations, it actively contributes to getting more European viewers interested in European films. |
