Special programmes and events

Anima is an event in itself already, given all its exclusive screenings and its competition as well as its concerts, exhibitions and meetings of all kinds. What’s more, a lot of events within the event will take place throughout the week, with lively screenings, debates and live performances involving dance, drawing or music.

BIKE TALK

Cyclists are not always who you think they are. After the screening of a few animated films featuring cyclists from all walks of life, there will be a discussion about cycling with the Pro Velo team and some unexpected cycling fans – a discussion that will go beyond the stereotypes and clichés.
Tuesday 21/02 - 19:30 - Studio 1

QUEER STORIES

This programme is more than just a compilation of great LGBTQIA+ films, most of which would have made it into the international competition. It is a celebration.

A wind of freedom and audacity will blow through this evening, with live performances by artists from Cabaret Mademoiselle and with La Veuve as the imperial mistress of ceremony.

The Animated Night

The Night is a clever mix of three programmes of short films consisting of strange little gems and wacky discoveries, alien intermezzos and people readying themselves for a cosy night in their pyjamas and slippers. Relaxed and casual attire is tolerated – and even welcomed – at Flagey on the Night! Get ready for a night like no other!
