On the occasion of the 10th edition of the festival, we focus on diversity. Let it be a celebration of animation and its various scenes.
We hope that every year we manage to surprise you with our festival program - with its diversity and freshness, its content or its form. We focus on presenting incredible versatility of animated film. That’s why in the program you can find films raising important issues, such as identity, relationships, politics, but also productions that will make you laugh or (at least, we presume) will be an excellent choice for your evening.
We will visit animators’ workshops and production studios, we will talk about crypto animation and new trends in video gaming. This year’s novelty is educational content added to Films for children Competition screenings. We prepared it for parents and guardians, to make it easier for them to talk with children about the movies.
We hope you to join us in our journey to discover the world of animation and enjoy the range of sensations it can give.
A detailed schedule can be found in the program tab.
