The film, about the life and work of the essence of German Romanticism - writer, artist, and composer Ernest Theodore Amadeus Hoffmann, has been realized at the highest level of artistry and almost exclusively by hand. "Hoffmaniada" is neither biopic nor dramatization but a romantic flight of fancy based on motifs from Hoffmann's diaries and fiction. The first twenty minutes of the film were screened on 20 November 2006, in Petersburg House of Cinema and received positive reactions from various news outlets. The animated film was released in Russia on 11 October 2018 and is denoted as the entryway of the modern Soyuzmultfilm animation studio. The film was later distributed to Japan in 2019. The film has been recognized with accolades of the Golden Eagle Award, Icarus Award, and Brazil Stop Motion International Film Festival award.
