Animation Festivals Directory

Throughout its 20-years-history (before Anifilm it was called AniFest), the international festival of animated films has been focusing on this specific audio-visual art. The festival is the only international competition festival of its kind in the Czech Republic. It introduces contemporary trends, methods, technologies and animation techniques. The festival supports well developed as well as brand new animation projects along with their authors, producers and distributors.

It forms a common ground for film professionals, students, pedagogues, film theorists, graphic artists and all the fans of animation (including children).
