filmfreeway.com/LinoleumFestival(UKR) У 2025 році фестиваль сучасної анімації та медіамистецтва LINOLEUM відбудеться офлайн 1-5 жовтня в UNIT.City у Києві.
Тема 12-го фестивалю - «РИТУАЛИ ПРАВ» (HUMAN RITES), і ми розпочинаємо відбір фільмів до конкурсних програм.
«Війна — батько всього сущого», — казав Геракліт, розглядаючи конфлікти як джерело розвитку та змін. У житті ж боротьба несе водночас і порядок, і руйнацію. Народження, смерть, боротьба за владу та виживання стали визначальними ритуалами людини, які водночас живлять війни, що формують нашу історію.
«Ритуали прав» — це роздум про те, як у хаосі та війні народжується щось нове. «Права людини» уособлюють прагнення миру та справедливості, а «ритуали людини» — одвічну боротьбу та насилля. Мир — коротка мить спокою між битвами, боротьба ж — суть людського існування.
Над візуальним концептом LINOLEUM 2025 працюватиме українська анімаційна режисерка та аніматорка Анастасія Фалілеєва.
Фільми випущені після 2024 року та з хронометражем не більшн 20 хв. приймаються виключно через фестивальну платформу filmfreeway filmfreeway.com/LinoleumFestival
(ENG) In 2025, LINOLEUM will be held offline on October 1–5 at UNIT.City in Kyiv.
HUMAN RITES is the theme of the 12th edition, and we are starting to accept films for the competition programs.
"War is the father of all things," said Heraclitus, believing conflict to be the source of growth and change. In life, struggle creates both order and destruction.
Birth, death, power, and survival become rites that define humanity, but they also fuel the very wars that shape our history.
"Human Rites" reflects how chaos and war give rise to something new. The play on "human rights" reminds us of our aspirations for peace and justice, while "human rites" exposes the struggle and violence that persist. Peace is only a fleeting moment of rest between battles, while struggle remains the essence of human existence.
The visual concept will be created by an award-winning Ukrainian animation director, Anastasiia Falileieva (dir. I died in Irpin).
For British-produced films, please note that LINOLEUM is a BAFTA Qualifying Festival.
Films produced after 2024 and with a max running time of 20 min. are accepted via the FilmFreeway festival platform filmfreeway.com/LinoleumFestival
