Despite current events, the entire Anima Team keeps abreast of the latest health and safety measures imposed by the government and is working hard to offer its festival-goers a 2021 hybrid edition worthy of its 40th anniversary: in cinemas, if possible, and online, whatever happens. Our programmers have watched more than 1300 films received from all over the world to select and introduce festival-goers to the latest and most beautiful animation film discoveries!

Numerous unseen films, short and feature films, as well as all Futuranima's professional meetings will be available on Anima Online.
