Anima Saturdays

Anima organises once a month the Anima Saturday: a very special afternoon for children who are fond of animation films !
The Anima Saturday begins with a film or a short film programme to be enjoyed together in Flagey (Brussels) and is followed by a workshop, led by JEF, where 25 children (from 6 to 10 years old) can discover the secrets of animation films and how to make them! Children will also enjoy a little snack all together in between the film and the workshop!
