In 2020, due to the pandemic, Pictoplasma was forced to cancel all IRL events and stream its first ever online edition, in Isolation, available for all and everywhere.
Now there’s no going back: The Pictoplasma Online Fest 2021 awaits you with more than 40 artist talks from all around the world, live hands-on workshops, panel discussions and screenings of animated shorts – broadcasted to your home on two channels over two jam-packed days, full of the very best in contemporary character design and art.

A fresh selection of cutting edge animated shorts and premieres await you on the big screen – or your home entertainment system – during four brand new, thematic programmes full of psychedelic eye candy and ingenious storytelling…
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: APRIL 23
Obviously, given the pandemic, international events on a Picto-Uber-Festival-scale are simply not possible at the moment…
As such, the admitted amount of attendees will be considerably more intimate and personal. The event will follow the governing rules of hygiene and social distancing and gather all activities at one very special venue: the vast and friendly premises of a former crematorium, now a beautiful, vibrant cultural venue, offering more than enough space for all conference talks, panels, animation screenings, workshops, exhibitions, delicious food & drinks – both inside and Open Air.
In other words: This will be Pictoplasma’s first ever exclusive character summer-camp!
Gerichtstr. 31
13347 Berlin
Starting from Saturday, the 1st of May 2021 at noon (CET), a limited amount of exclusive tickets will be available for you to join us physically and in person in sunny Berlin this August (strictly following the governing rules).
Alternatively, you can join us in September, via online streaming, from wherever you are!
Or both?
