BLACK HORSE ANIMATION CONTEST (SET 1)

Like a mother who cannot say (out loud) which child is her favorite, as every year, I put in your hands the decision of who will leave Katowice with the statuette of the Black Horse of Animation. This year's set will certainly cause a lot of discussions and conversations - it will not leave anyone indifferent. I am aware that this is a very general description, but the animations should be watched, not just read about them. See you soon!

Curator: Gabriela Palicka

Selection committee: Paulina Pikiewicz, Polina Shaptala, Jacek Wandzel, Paweł Trzepizur

Like a mother who can't say (out loud) which child is her favorite, as I do every year, I leave it up to you to decide who will leave Katowice with the Black Horse of Animation statuette. This year's lineup is sure to spark a lot of discussion and conversation—it won't leave anyone indifferent.
