"The Holland Animation Film Festival provides an (inter)national platform for this special art form. The festival, which was founded in 1985, takes place over a period of five days at several locations in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. The festival started as a biennial festival and became a yearly event in 2009 so it can offer an even more up-to-date programme and really monitor developments as they unfold. In 2012 the festival dates move from the beginning of November to the end of March to fit even better in the international festival calendar.
The festival highlights the latest developments and new talent, shows theme programmes and retrospectives, and organizes activities like talk shows, master classes and lectures. Main programme sections are The Cutting Edge and the competitions. The Cutting Edge presents the often exciting and pioneering interplay between film, fine art, games and the internet. HAFF organizes international competitions for animated shorts, feature films, applied animation (animation films produced in commission) and animation for internet. HAFF organises also a European competition for student films and there’s an audience award for the best Dutch animation. Attendance figures confirm that screening animation in competition is an attractive format. The competition programmes are screened in the largest theatres, often drawing a capacity crowd.
In HAFF’s programming and other activities several highlights are worth mentioning. In 1992, after the archives in the Soviet Union opened up, the festival was able to present a unique historic overview of animation film from the former USSR, making HAFF the first festival that showed a retrospective of animated propaganda films. The festival now closely follows developments in current Japanese, Korean and Chinese animation, which stands out for its unique imaginary power. Unique examples of animation at the crossroads of visual art, architecture, high and lowbrow art are Intra Muros, an animated installation on the windows of the Utrecht city hall by American-Canadian artist Rose Bond in 2008 and the residency of Chinese artist Sun Xun in September - November 2010 who combined animation and site specific art which resulted in an exhibition of artwork in Centraal Museum Utrecht and the animated short A Clown’s Revolution."
