The german “Brickfilm Festival - STEINEREI” meets the international Festival of Animated Film in Stuttgart. Our friend Mathias Mertens, founder of “Steinerei”, will be in town, screen a bunch of Brickfilms and talk about the art of brickfilming. Let´s see how our Movie “MIMUS” will look like on the big screen of the Gloria Cinema, near Main Station Stuttgart.
Here is what the website of the FESTIVAL OF ANIMATED FILM is saying about the event:
Selected productions from five years of Steinerei moderated by the founder of Steinerei Mathias Mertens and the brick film expert Karin Wehn.
A brick film is an animated film produced using bricks. And this more or less sums up the import of this genre – for films which are produced using Lego or other click brick toys possess a transnational charm which unites generations and to which almost no-one who has ever had studded bricks in their hand is immune. The German “Steinerei” festival has been held since 2005 and is the only independent festival for brick films worldwide. This annual competition has brought about an immense increase in both the creativity and quality of amateur productions. Anything is possible – from a walk through Legoland and spy thrillers to reflections on the character of cinema or 5 million years of human history.
again, one of our animations is nominated for the “Bricks in Motion Award”, 2009.
“Total Eclipse of The Heart” (Only Men Aloud ft. Bonnie Tyler) is nominated in the following Categories:
- Best Cinematography
- Best Set Design

“nichtgedreht” with their epic 2009 movie: “Alles ist die Noppe”.
