Babelgum is partnering with the Hamptons International Film Festival to co-present select winners from the Animatron Festival at the Hamptons Animation Showcase. “We have a special emphasis on the art of animation this year,” said Holly Herrick, Programmer and Special Projects Producer at the Hamptons Festival. Festival programmers hope the partnership with Babelgum will prove to be a great boon for independent animators looking to find a broader audience for their short films.
Karol Martesko-Fenster, SVP and General Manager of the Babelgum Film & Animation Division, said, “We’re pleased to be highlighting the work of independent animators while focusing on the craft of this important filmmaking form at the Hamptons International Film Festival along with some of the top innovators in the industry.
Animation is one of our key focuses at Babelgum, and the Animatron Festival demonstrates our ongoing commitment to honoring the work of talented filmmakers and providing innovative new ways to distribute their work.”Finalists from the Animation Festival have the potential to win cash prizes totaling $20,000, with awards given to first place and runner-up contestants in each of the four categories, as well as a Grand Jury Prize Winner. Public voting for the Audience Awards begins today and continues through October 10, 2010.
