It turned out to be such a success that in the 2nd edition we decided to make it a competition. We received entries from all the world. Every year we try to improve this festival from the experienced gathered. Our best ambassadors are those attendees from previous editions, as they can vouch for the experience. We want to make a national and international reference festival of Time Lapse and Stop Motion, and make known our city, Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara, Spain) We hope to see you!
