Visual Design of Next Year’s Anifilm is in the hands of Veronika Zacharová

Many of you have surely noticed that the upcoming edition of Anifilm has already got its new visual design. It was created by young director, animator and graphic artist Veronika Zacharová. She has drawn attention to herself as a student of animation of the Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín with her humorous films The Bearytales (Co medvědi rádi), ZOO Story (Co se stalo v ZOO), House (Domek) and Wandering Bondy (Egon Bondy o filozofii a tak vůbec). Veronika comments her design with the following words: “Animation is a medium of endless possibilities. The visual design of Anifilm 2019, based mainly on variety and freedom, is a result of the author’s original interpretation of a note from the manual for the new visual design competition participants: ‚The jury will most likely disadvantage designs with fish motives.‘ Apart from them, the central and unifying motive is expressive and repetitive colourfulness. Veronika already diligently works on the festival jingle about which she says: “It will focus on a potential festival visitor whose everyday routine is intensively attacked by a week infused with animation spent in Třeboň.”
