    TREBON: The international competition of feature films at the 2019 edition of the Czech festival of animated film Anifilm, running 7-12 May, includes the 3 m EUR Estonian/Belgian/Irish/UK Captain Morten and the Spider Queen directed by Kaspar Jancis and Henry Nicholson.

    Ten films are competing for the main prize. The competition also includes the Polish/Spanish/Belgian/Hungarian/German film Another Day of Life directed by Raul de la Fuente and Damian Nenow.
