DOCartoon festival, Pietrasanta, Italy

Launched last year, DOCartoon is ‘the first festival in the world to be primarily dedicated to animated documentaries and non-fiction comics’. A mix of short and feature-length animadoc films, meetings and exhibitions takes place in an ancient city of Tuscany. Sounds like fun!

There’s a Call for Entries on the home page for the this year’s event, to be held in October. Check it out:
