Anima announces its next edition
The 35th edition of Anima, the international Brussels animation film festival, scheduled February 5 to 14, 2016 at the familiar Flagey building, is in full preparation. Part of the festival programme will be presented simultaneously at various cities throughout Flanders and Wallonia.
For ten days, Anima will invade Flagey’s three floors for a worthy celebration of animation film in all its shapes and sizes. The 2016 programme will include a variety of awaited novelties, previously unreleased short films and features for young and less young audiences, initiation workshops for children, training sessions for adolescents, exhibitions on the art of animation, signings as well as encounters and talks with animation filmmakers from all across the globe.
During Futuranima, which is scheduled February 10 to 13, renowned domestic and international professionals will examine and discuss the latest developments and trends in animation, focusing on a variety of topics – sound, storyboard, imagery… – in Work in Progress presentations, Making of sessions and lectures.
Two countries will be “in the picture” during Anima’s 2016 edition: the United Kingdom and Japan, two countries incredibly prolific in animation. The focus will, obviously, include some very special events.
The complete festival programme will be available online on the Anima website www.animafestival.be as of January 13, 2016, which is also the date ticket sales will be launched. Stay tuned!
