Travel diary: Zlín Film Festival

We’re delighted to share our experience at Zlín Film Festival in the Czech Republic, where we screened our animated short Where Rabbits Come From. Here is a look at our time in this charming city and the warm welcome we received from the festival and its enthusiastic audiences, especially the children.

When our team was selected for Zlín Film Festival, we were excited and eager to take part. It was a special opportunity to introduce our short film to an international audience of film lovers and industry professionals.

From the moment we arrived in Zlín, we were welcomed with exceptional hospitality. We loved the city’s historic architecture, lively streets and the creative atmosphere in its cinemas and public spaces.

On the day of our screening, we were nervous and eager to see how audiences would respond. To our delight, the cinema was filled with children and their families. Their reactions moved us and showed us that the film had caught their attention and sparked their imaginations.

After the screening, we took part in a recording of the festival’s official podcast. Host Gert Hermans asked thoughtful questions about how the film was made and the creative process behind it. https://open.spotify.com/show/2bqjcJ3vGvrlsBT8NWbXcL

We’re grateful to have shared our animated short with Zlín’s audiences and look forward to sharing our next festival adventures.
