Animacción (8)

Festival start: 28 October 2024      Festival end: 03 November 2024

Animacción is an international festival of animated short films, aimed to bring attention to the artistic potential of a whole new generation of animators.

Organized by the cultural association "Ánimas Anónimas", the festival returns this year for its 7th edition.

The call arises from our desire to increase the cultural offer of the city of A Coruña and its region, offering a sample of an artistic discipline with great creative potential, known worldwide, but little spread (me suena menos científico que disseminated xD) and supported locally.

The selected short films will be screened from December 12th to 18th, in the metropolitan area of ​​A Coruña. The public attending these screenings will proclaim the winning piece with their votes. There will be also an award for the best children's short film, chosen by the students of several schools in A Coruña and the area.

Besides the screenings, we will schedule different talks and activities, for all audiences, related to the world of animation, so we can create a bridge between artists of this discipline and the public.

Cash Prizes: 400€
