The festival attracts approximately 36,000 visits across cinema screenings, industry sessions, talks, panels, VR works, video games, installations and exhibitions. In addition to being an international audience festival, showcasing more than 300 animated shorts and feature films in a wide range of programmes primarily aimed at adults, the Kaboom Industry Days form a key component of the event. During these Industry Days, the festival aims to support the development of the Dutch animation industry on both a national and international level by providing a platform for exchange and inspiration. The industry programme is built around international collaborations, networking opportunities, as well as the presentation and mentorship of emerging talent. XR is embedded in Kaboom\u2019s and programming through a dedicated focus on expanded animation. The festival integrates XR through the Expanded Animation Expo, which showcases the most interesting national and international VR works. This is further strengthened by VR Day, a professional and educational platform that brings together students, artists, curators, and industry experts through talks, discussions, and networking events such as the Future of VR Talk and the Dutch Panorama Talk.        Cette approche est renforc\u00e9e par le VR Days, une plateforme professionnelle qui r\u00e9unit \u00e9tudiants, artistes, curateurs et experts du secteur autour de conf\u00e9rences, discussions, \u00e9v\u00e9nements de r\u00e9seautage, tels que Future of VR Talk et le Dutch Panorama Talk.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading singleActorLabel has-vert-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ba1d8bb75a8f9fa0dc5e97f0e87ae12a\">Technical information<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiple venues <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bibliotheek Neude: 500 m2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art Gallery (AG) of the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU): 150 m2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading singleActorLabel has-vert-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4311c8bf437058777cea2b16d6901077\">Type of presented works<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VR linear (e.g. 360\u00b0, *6DOF Stand Alone non-interactive) or interactive (VR, MR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LBE (location based-experiences)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XR performances (theater or dance mixed with XR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planetarium and full dome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Projection mapping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audio and sound-based projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading singleActorLabel has-vert-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0453ffdb171e8a68f324d6492f997fe7\">Postal address<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bibliotheek Neude<br\/>Neude 11<br\/>3512 AE Utrecht<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading singleActorLabel has-vert-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6818fc48f29d01ec918f69b35cf06b3a\">Contact<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"noMarginBottom wp-block-paragraph\">Aneta Ozorek<br\/>Artistic Director<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column singleActorColRight is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/&#xA9;-Kaboom-Animation-Festival.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-790\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 Kaboom Animation Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaboom Animation Festival is the main animation festival in the Netherlands, taking place each year in March in Utrecht, Amsterdam [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","localisation":[81],"type_de_lieu":[51],"class_list":["post-802","actor","type-actor","status-publish","hentry","localisation-utrecht","type_de_lieu-festival","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actor\/802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actor"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actor"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actor\/802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":803,"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actor\/802\/revisions\/803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"localisation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/localisation?post=802"},{"taxonomy":"type_de_lieu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xrinbenelux.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type_de_lieu?post=802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
