Animators dripping with sweat, their mothers busy soothing them, friends whooping and screaming their names while klikking like maniacs… All eyes are on the price during the KLIK! Award Ceremony, where the desired KLIK! awards of 2012 get handed over to their entitled owners. Come watch the spectacle Saturday November 10 at 22h00, in EYE Cinema 2.

Animation is an extremely versatile medium that knows many different forms, shapes and sizes, one of them being the short animated film – the beating, blood squirting heart of the KLIK! festival. The best animated shorts have assembled in our International Competitions programs. After our KLIK! call for entries echoed throughout the world, more than 1100 short animated films from 71 countries flooded in. Following a survival of the fittest, the selection committee was left with the meanest, leanest, best animated bad MF’s of contemporary animation. Prepare to laugh out loud, be scared out of your skull and stifle a sob during our 65 to 80 minutes long batches of the most amazing short animated films recently made. Enjoy!

 
 

KLIK! awards by Joost van der Toorn
Dutch artist Joost van den Toorn’s work has evoked mixed reactions ever since his first exhibition in 1982. Soon after van den Toorn’s debut exhibition, his work was sought after by well-known museums and commissions for works in the public space followed. Van den Toorn’s work has been called postmodern: he challenges the boundaries between low art and popular culture, those aspects that are considered in bad taste or crass. His bronze and ceramic sculptures simultaneously refer to traditional art by the usage of durable materials and the traditional looking pedestals on which his sculptures are placed.

Professionals from every corner of the world compete for the grand prize of this year's KLIK! festival.

KLIK! Award for Best Animated Student Short
From Switzerland to China, from Australia to California and from India to our own homeground, everywhere around the world animation schools arise. Not bound by any commissioning company these student programs breath exciting promises for the future.

KLIK! Award for Best Commissioned Animation
