Animation lovers – if you didn’t make it to Stuttgart or Annecy this year, don’t fret. ASIFA Israel (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation) in collaboration with the Goethe Institute Tel Aviv presents an evening of animated films this Tuesday, July 27 at 19:00 at the Goethe Institute, 4 Weizman Street, Tel Aviv.

The program will include noteworthy films screened at the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film (May 4 – 9, 2010). Many of these films are not scheduled to be shown in Israel, so this is a great opportunity to experience the festival’s latest harvest.

From Annecy to Tel Aviv comes Overnight Stay, a documentary animation film by Daniela Sherer (2009), in which an 83 year old woman recalls the events of one night in Krakow, Poland in 1941. Filmmaker Daniela Sherer will be present at the screening to discuss the making of the film and take questions from the audience.

The event is free and open to ASIFA members and animation lovers with advance registration. Please RSVP to 03-6060500.
