My First Festival and BAU, Barcelona University Center for Arts and Design, are joining forces yet again to organize a professional meeting on stop-motion animation. The aim of the conference is to bring together producers, animators and students to share experiences and opinions on the current state of stop-motion animation production in Europe.

The meeting, which will be held presentially at BAU (C/ Pujades, 118, Barcelona), can also be followed in streaming through animator Edu Puertas’ Youtube channel (@edupuertasfruns), co-founder of Citoplasmas, a stop-motion animation studio.
