People are familiar with animation from the US and Japan. While Germany may not strike one as a source of animation, it does, nevertheless, have a lot to offer. See the latest developments in the German animation scene in “Animated Films from Germany (2004)”, an IfA exhibition that showcases the works of 15 of the best animators in Germany today.

Brought to you in cooperation with the Animated Council of the Philippines, the exhibit showcases the works of Gil Alkabetz, Jochen Ehmann, Lars Henkel, Daniel Höpfner, Andy Kaiser, Tine Kluth, Raimund Krumme, Jochen Kuhn, Daniel Nocke, Hannes Rall, Chris Stenner, Heidi Wittlinger , Jan Thüring, Thomas Voigt, Johannes Weiland and Kirsten Winter. Their works encompass a variety of styles, from computer animation to classic animation techniques and even clay animation. Included in the collection is “Rocks”, the 2003 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Short Film by Chris Stenner and Heidi Wittlinger.
