Our team at PFCAT is thrilled to announce a new festival podcast series in collaboration with Nice Shorts!

Up until the festival starts on August 18th, we will be spotlighting a selection of stop-motion filmmakers whose work is part of this year’s fest programming in August. These conversations will give some insights the creative process and craft of stop-motion while we continue reviewing submissions for this year’s festival.

Just a reminder that all PFCAT festival submissions remain under consideration until June 22, and our full lineup will be announced in mid-July.

We want to send a huge thank you to Nice Shorts, and especially Fu Yang and Johnny Knittle for welcoming the festival to their podcast this year.

The festival is also excited to announce that Botjoy will be returning as our guest artist for the second year in a row. Catch a glimpse of what is to come in this post.

The first few episodes will be coming very soon on Apple, Spotify etc. Youtube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/.interview
