1ST KLOSSEXPO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

10/21/2023

0 Comments

This year for the first time the KlossEXPO (a Norwegian LEGO Convention located in Oslo) will be doing a brickfilm festival. Last year, the KlossExpo had a LEGO stop-motion workshop/studio. Attendees could try making a brickfilm. This year they are adding a brickfilm festival along with the stop-motion workshop/studio.

You can submit a brickfilm entry by following this link:
https://klossexpo.no/filmfestival

The submitted brickfilms will be screened at the convention and the top 3 winners will receive LEGO sets as prizes. This is an international brickfilm festival so anyone can enter and you are not required to attend the convention.

There are no rules about submissions being made recently or made specifically for the festival so you can submit any of your brickfilms, but preferably only one brickfilm per person. There is also no theme, but there is a separate screening of brickfilms that aren't suitable for all ages. (18+ Swearing, violence etc)
The minimum length requirement is 30 seconds and maximum length of 10 minutes. The brickfilm must be your original creation.

The winners will be decided by a mix of audience voting and by judges at the convention. One of the judges will be the amazing brickfilmer and BFG member TheJumiFilm.

KlossEXPO will be November 11-12 in Skjetten, Norway which is near Oslo.

The deadline to submit brickfilms is November 1st 2023.

Fana'Briques 2023

Fanabriques is an association aimed at LEGO fans of all ages and offers activities to it's members throughout the year. Fana'Briques 2023 (their yearly LEGO expo) was recently held from Saturday, September 30, 2023 to Sunday, October 1, 2023. It was held in Colmar, France and attracted over 12,000 Lego fans from all over the world. Fana'Briques features exhibitions of Lego creations by professional and amateur builders, workshops where visitors can build their own creations, brickfilming workshops, and a brickfilm screening room. Link to Flickr photo album of exhibits.

This year, the brickfilms space had its own room, far from "the hustle and bustle of the exhibition halls". The brickfilms space was made up of a “brickfilm screenings” section and a “stop motion workshop”, to introduce the public to the technique of frame-by-frame animation. The “stop motion workshop” was led this year by Alex, France (of France & Alex), and Maxime Marion. Around fifty participants came to try their hand at the art of brickfilming throughout the weekend. The “brickfilm screening” section allowed visitors to review all the Fana’Briques teasers since 2009, and to discover a selection of 18 quality and often funny brickfilms, divided into 6 programs which were screened throughout the weekend.
