KLIK!'s 5th edition: 7-11 November 2012!

We wish you a kliktastic holiday season and we hope to contribute to your happy New Year with the announcement of the newest edition of your favorite film festival! 2012 will see the festival's 5th anniversary and we'll celebrate it in our patented KLIK! style in a spectacular new location: the EYE Film Institute Netherlands!

New location!
Our festival's new home is being built as we speak, but we've already taken a sneak peek inside and we're very exited indeed. The EYE Film Institute Netherlands is located on the sparkly waters of the IJ, right across the Central Amsterdam train station and provides all our needs: large and intimate screening room, room to showcase art, a stage to facilitate live performances, a bar to lounge and dance in and a restaurant, all under one single shiny roof. Check out their website for more information on our prestigious new partner: EYE.

What to expect?
So mark your calender: from the 7th until the 11th of November in 2012, the 5th edition of the KLIK! Amsterdam Animation Festival will combine KLIK!'s beloved ingredients with a host of new and exciting possibilities offered by our new location. We'll serve up the finest animated films, the most eloquent masterclasses, theme programs on violence in animation and more, a plethora of special guests for your Q&A needs, parties that will become legendary, music to your ears and a lot of pleasant surprises.

Call for Entries 2012
Our Call for Entries will start March 1st and is open until the 1st of June and we're looking forward to receiving all the lovely eye candy you made since the previous edition of KLIK! For more information click here.

Info BNO Animatie/Motion Graphics
In 2009 lanceerde Rob Huisman (directeur BNO) tijdens het KLIK! Animatiefestival het platform BNO Animatie. Met de oprichting hebben animatoren hun eigen plaats binnen de vereniging. De oprichting is een initiatief van het bestuur van Stichting KLIK! en BNO. Het platform wil animatoren meer met elkaar in contact brengen door diverse activiteiten te organiseren. Het doel is om animatie meer bekendheid te geven, de ontwikkeling van het vak te bevorderen en professionalisering van animatoren te stimuleren.Hier vind je meer informatie.

Activiteiten platform BNO Animatie/Motion Graphics
BNO Animatie/Motion Graphics bestaat nu uit Jiek Weishut, Yvonne van Ulden en Dario van Vree. Het platform hard op zoek naar leden om de organisatie van nieuwe projecten op te pakken!

We'd like to thank all of you for all the energy you brought to cinema Kriterion during KLIK! Special! The whole day was full of animated goodness compressed into one big party. A swift recap in pictures and stories will be online soon for you to relive the day or to understand what you've been missing!

Pictures
Better late than never pictures of KLIK! Special. The amazing photographer Corneel de Wilde made pictures that can be viewed here.

Due to double programming at Kriterion we are forced to move our KLIK! Connects/Hollandse Nieuwe program to 18:00. But don't fret folks, the program itself will be exactly as fingerlickin' good as planned, only a few hours earlier! After an introduction by our very own artistic director Yvonne van Ulden, who'll get you up-to-date on all there is to know KLIK!wise and has a very special announcement to make, we'll present a zesty overview of homegrown animation just like we promised.

Consequently, dinner has been moved too, so you won't have to miss out on any awesome programs we've planned for you. The delicious meals you've ordered in advance will be served at 19:45. Because we can imagine you get hungry of watching all those films during the day, we've extended our free Cereal Bar until 15:30 to keep you on your feet.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.
