According to Kanoon General Directorate for Public Relations and International Affairs, Kanoon produced “The 11th Step” in 2019 based on a book carrying the same title written by the late Sousan Taghdis.

 This ten-minute and fifty-second short film uses a simple language and a humorous outlook to express concepts such as captivity, freedom, and liberty; it encourages children indirectly to make more experience and to endeavor. The hero learns that sometimes he can obtain wonderful results by taking one more step.  

Based on this, the festival programs like workshops, opening and ending ceremony, specialized meetings, discussions and conversation with the international jury is held online.  

Based on the official announcement by festival secretariat, the best feature animation, short film, series, music video, children film, film made by children and best film script will be awarded.

Based on the news, the goal of holding the festival is to support and train children and adolescents and young filmmakers in Azerbaijan and recognizing outstanding world animations. 

It is reminded that the Third International Anima Film Festival is held online from Oct 14 to 18, 2020 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
