FUTURANIMA

Anima, the Brussels International Animation Film Festival, returns for its 44th edition from 28 February to 9 March 2025 and invites you to the Futuranima professional days, the event for Belgian and international animation talent, from Monday 3 to Saturday 8 March 2025 at Flagey and Marni.
Futuranima is the event for industry professionals and animation students who want to play an active role in the evolution of animation film! The programme includes dozens of events not to be missed: masterclasses, making-of sessions, studio presentations, works in progress, lectures, Meet the Talent sessions, Q&As, and much more.

It is with great pleasure that Anima unveils the poster for Anima 2025, designed by the talented Raman Djafari!

"The poster shows the moment after the big celebration, the party guests are falling asleep, the tinsel is scattered across the floor, and the costumes wrinkled into colorful landscapes. An eerie spirit is in the air, a magical haze, that guides us softly from the rush we already lived into the dreams we are yet to dream."

This is exactly the feeling we can have as we sit together in front of the festival screen, daydreaming, relieved to finally be quiet in the dark, ready to welcome the poetry of animated cinema and let ourselves be carried away in an enchanting world.

Berlin-based illustrator and animator Raman Djafari explores emotion and fragility through colourful images and fragmented narratives, creating worlds and characters that are both real and imaginary. They have directed music videos for artists including Elton John, Dua Lipa and Ashnikko, and collaborated with Adult Swim and The New Yorker.
