ANIMA 2025 AWARDS

Despite unprecedented temperatures flirting with 20°C, festivalgoers flocked in large numbers to enjoy the 150 screenings at Flagey, Marni, and Cinematek. With over 30,000 visitors in Brussels and 40 sold-out screenings, attendance remains at its peak following a record-breaking 2024 edition! Once again this year, Anima welcomed some of the biggest names in animation: the Oscar-winning Flow team, Claude Barras, Priit and Olga Pärn, Fortiche Production (Arcane), Masha Halberstad, Michael Dudok de Wit, Benjamin Renner, Jean-François Laguionie, and Anik Le Ray… not to mention around fifty international and Belgian directors! For 10 days, Anima once again affirmed its key role on the international scene, both through the quality of its films and its highly attended professional meetings. The number of accredited guests also increased, with 1,125 badges issued in 2025 (+6%). Starting March 10, the festival continues on Sooner with a special selection of films centered around Dreams, keeping the magic alive a little longer. ☀️
