Despite the efforts and unshakable optimism of the Animateka festival team, who, until the last minute hoped that we would be able to watch diverse and above all excellent animated film products from all around the world on the big screen again this year, we decided to move this edition online due to the epidemiological situation.

Breathtaking shots, topical issues, inspiration, optimism and chills from trying to answer the question if we, as a human beings, will ever learn. Each of the five winning films of the 46th EKOFILM International Film Festival triggered some of these feelings in this year’s members of the jury. The Grand Prize of the Festival goes to the film Sockeye Salmon. Red Fish. Thanks to the enthralling shots and testimonies of local experts, it helps us to become conscious of the fragile balance of natural ecosystems on which our lives depend.
