WHAT TO DO IN MARNI?

Since last year, the Anima Festival has added an extra location: Marni! In addition to the many screenings held in the cinema hall specially transformed for the festival, you can enjoy plenty of other activities in this cozy space. Have a drink at the bar, browse on the super-fast Wi-Fi in between screenings, or experience a VR film for free. Plus, fun events are organized throughout the entire festival.

• VIRTUAL REALITY : Virtual reality is making a big comeback at Anima! On the program: 5 award-winning immersive films (Monday, March 4 to Saturday, March 8, 2025 · 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM)
• GRAFIK: DRINK & DRAW AND EXHIBITION : The Drink & Draw is back this year, and this time at Marni! The concept is simple: drawing together while enjoying a drink ( Wednesday, 03/05 · 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM. Free admission). In addition, Grafik is organizing an exhibition throughout the festival that explores the connection between animation and illustration ( Open daily half an hour before the first screening of the day until 11:00 PM. Free entry)
• T-SHIRT MACHINE : Come and print the Anima logo on your t-shirt, bag, cap, or even your cat (wait, not the cat!!!) using our amazing machine available during both weekends of the Festival at Marni ( Sat 03/01 · 12:30 PM - 11:00 PM, Sun 03/02 · 12:30 PM - 11:00 PM, Fri 03/07 · 12:30 PM - 11:00 PM, Sat 03/08 · 12:30 PM - 11:00 PM)
