Screenings at CINEMATEK, Palace and the Walloon and Flemish venues are not included in the accreditation. These different venues have their own ticket offices.

For all categories except passports and Festival Pass for Children's Screenings, after the Festival you will also receive personal access to the Anima video library, which includes the entire official selection of Anima 2027 short films. You will have access until 1 April 2027.

Your badge will be available at the Festival reception desk from 19:00 on 19 February and every day of the Festival from 10:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, and from 13:00 to 22:00 at weekends.

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, Festival Pass for Children's Screenings), 15 screenings (professional and student accreditations ) or 20 screenings (Festival Pass) 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.

Losing your badge doesn’t mean losing your bookings. We will issue you with a new badge as soon as possible. Please notify us at reception, by email or by telephone as soon as possible.

Each audience category (passport, Festival Pass for Children's Screenings, professional, student, press, 5-session pass and individual tickets on sale) is allocated a quota of seats for each screening. These quotas are adjusted daily according to demand. If you are unable to book your screening because it is sold out, this means that you have reached your quota for your accreditation category.

Please check your personal space regularly to see if any seats have become available.

Please cancel your bookings if you are unable to attend the screening, so that other accredited festivalgoers who are waiting can benefit from them and to avoid blocking seats unnecessarily.

This means that your type of accreditation does not give you access to that screening. For example, professional, student, press and guest accreditations have access to the entire programme, except masterclasses, VR and the opening and closing sessions. Passport holders have access to the entire programme, except the masterclasses, VR and the opening session.
