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.
