A New Retrospective About Stop Motion

To celebrate the first anniversary of the book Stop Motion, un autre cinéma d'animation, Anima invites you to the Cinematek to discover a unique retrospective of stop motion animation films that have marked generations!

With no less than 16 screenings carefully chosen for you to get an overview of the many facets of the genre, from hand-crafted to studio films, and taking in some great classics like My Life as a Zucchini and The Nightmare Before Christmas, this rich and varied programme has been curated by Anima’s founder Philippe Moins.

The Anima Saturdays Make Their Big Comeback in Flagey!

After a very hectic year, it's now the turn of the Anima Saturdays to make their comeback in Flagey, to the delight of film-loving families and animation enthusiasts!

The 2021-2022 season of the Anima Saturdays will be particularly rich, with no less than ten screenings between September and May, including an Anima Special that will exceptionally take place on Sunday 3 October! The season will open on Saturday 18 September with Mush-Mush et le petit monde de la forêt, a programme of three animated short films directed by Joeri Christiaen.
