ONE WEEK ABOUT Kaboom Animation Festival
The annual Kaboom Animation Festival – this year from 21 to 30 March in Utrecht, Amsterdam and online – presents the latest, most creative, innovative and daring (inter)national animation productions. Over the next few days, we show some of the Dutch participants, today Vera van Wolferen.
Vera van Wolferen
Vera van Wolferen (born 1988) is an animation film director and paper artist, living and working in The Hague. She studied Fine Arts at AKI and obtained a master’s degree in Animation at St. Joost. Her work balances between poetry and humor, with a love for colorful tactile worlds.
Her Ultra short Tourist Trap has been screened in Dutch cinemas and international film festivals. Her latest film Down in the Dumps premiered at the Berlinale in February 2025, where it received a Special Mention from the Children’s Jury. The film is currently showing at Kaboom Animation Film Festival.
In addition to film, she works on paper sculptures and installations, combining playfulness with handmade precision.
