2021 is shaping up to be a banger for Kaboom Animation Festival! Don’t you dare miss it. Some early birds can already leave their nest. For the lucky few the first tier of our All you can eat tickets is now available.

Embrace your inner Speedy Gonzales, ‘cause only a limited amount of these early birdies is allowed to spread their wings. For only €11,99 you get online access to this bangin’ animation festival!

Oh, do we have a film feast for you! Our Features in Competiton program is filled with fabulous animated stories.

From a.o. oppressed “thoriphants” (imagine Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh on a Moses-like quest) in Mosley, over musically inspired delinquent schoolkids channeling their best garage rockers in On-Gaku: Our Sound, to the epic weirdness of exploding cows and a potential dairy nuclear disaster in Old Man – The Movie. You will most certainly never drink milk the same way again.

And did we mention we have prepared a BIG BANG? Our annual theme program is devoted to the biggest of bangs, representing the start of a new beginning. ‘Tis about time, after a freaky 2020. Strap yourselves in for a rollercoaster of (d)evolution, a clueless God, 16mm gems and socially engaged animation breaking down the walls of discrimination.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Unravel the incredible minefield of the evolution of 21st-century Dutch animation which has rapidly become one of the most renowned in the world.

Not only are we honoring the late Gerrit Van Dijk, the most influential animator in the Lowlands, we are also deploying the four D’s of Dutch animation: daring, dazzling, disturbing and diverse. How’s that for a banger?!
