Fest Anča International Animation Festival was one of the few festivals that took place during the pandemic, and this year it returns vibrant and live.
Lyrical writing and fanciful scissor-cut, watercolor, and felt pen illustrations are a perfect match for this sophisticated exploration of the life and work of groundbreaking animator Charlotte “Lotte” Reiniger (1899–1981), told in three parts. Each section begins with an elegant title card, as if the reader were watching a silent film.
