Fibres of Feeling
Kaboom 2026: Fibres of Feeling
When machines can imitate the craft of animation, what remains? That is the central question we explore at Kaboom Animation Festival 2026. Will craft evolve? Disappear? Will animators absorb this existential threat, or become curators of AI-generated images? Maybe they’ll simply persist — like the spiders who inspired this year’s poster, handcrafted by Bea Lema. In Human Touch, you’ll follow a thread of animations shaped by hands, hearts, and human imagination. Expect colorful woven frames and knitted landscapes that highlight our deep connection to natural materials. A warm, soft, and magical collection of short love letters to the act of hand-making.
