Projekcija izbora animiranih flmov 13. mednarodnega flmskega festvala StopTrik Maribor
Leta 2024 je bila občanom predstavljena projekcija izbora animiranih flmov 13. mednarodnega flmskega festvala StopTrik Maribor. Na večeru animiranih flmov je bil predvajan program Bistvena raznolikost (70 min), ki je združil najboljše dosežke sodobne stop-animacije: od neodvisnih avtorskih del do studijskih produkcij, od festvalovskih outsiderjev do oskarjevskih nominirancev, iz raznolikih kulturnih okolij od Irana do ZDA.
Predstavljene so bile različne tradicionalne tehnike (lutke, glina, izrez, piksilacija, manipulacija predmetov) ter inovatvni hibridni pristopi, ki povezujejo stop-animacijo z drugimi flmskimi izrazi. Občinstvo je tako dobilo vpogled v raznolikost in bogastvo svetovne animirane ustvarjalnost, ki jo festval StopTrik – edini tovrstni v Sloveniji in eden redkih na svetu – že več kot desetletje prinaša v Maribor in Lodž.
Projekcija je pomenila pomemben prispevek k dostopnost kakovostne flmske umetnost v lokalnem prostoru ter priložnost za srečanje, pogovor in kulturno izkušnjo občanov. Na ta način se je ideja dolina:dialoga ponovno potrdila kot prostor, ki spodbuja dostopnost, izmenjavo ter povezovanje skupnosti skozi umetnost.
Screening of selected animated films from the 13th international StopTrik Film Festival Maribor
In 2024, the public was presented with a screening of selected animated films from the 13th International StopTrik Film Festival Maribor. The evening of animated cinema featured the program Essential Diversity (70 min), which brought together some of the finest achievements of contemporary stop-motion animation: from independent auteur works to studio productions, from festival outsiders to Oscar nominees, and from a variety of cultural contexts spanning Iran to the USA.
The selection showcased a range of traditional techniques (puppets, clay, cut-out, pixilation, object manipulation) as well as innovative hybrid approaches that merge stop-motion with other cinematic forms of expression. The audience thus gained insight into the diversity and richness of global animated creativity, which the StopTrik Festival – the only one of its kind in Slovenia and one of the few in the world – has been bringing to Maribor and Łódź for over a decade.
The screening represented an important contribution to making high-quality film art accessible in the local community and offered citizens an opportunity for encounter, dialogue, and cultural experience. In this way, the idea of dolina:dialoga was once again affirmed as a space that fosters accessibility, exchange, and community connection through art.
