FAQ Accreditations

Our various accreditation formulas cater to different audience profiles: professionals, students and enthusiasts, as well as French-speaking, Dutch-speaking and international. Accreditations are the best solution if you want to attend a large number of screenings (more than 5). An accreditation allows you to book ‘unlimited’ screenings for Anima 2025 and includes a personal online booking space, active from 4 February, and a name badge, available at the reception desk at Flagey from day 1 of the Festival.

* To ensure that everyone can get the most out of the festival: each person can book a maximum of 10 screenings (press and guest accreditations), 15 screenings (professional and student accreditations ) or 20 screenings (passports) at the same time. Once you’ve attended a screening, you can book a new one.

If you don’t have a booking, you can still try your luck at the entrance to the auditorium. If the screening is sold-out, we will ask you to wait on the side and you will be able to enter the screening if there are still seats available 10 minutes after the start of the screening.
