Animest 2012 - Call for Entries!

Dear filmmakers, producers, distributors and friends of animated films, the 7th Anim'est International Animation Film Festival will be waiting for your shorts & features in the next few months. The deadline for submitting your films to the 7th edition of the festival is June 15th.

We are glad to announce the opening of the call for a brand new competitive section: Minimest - reserved for shorts appropriate for children aged 4-12 years old. An award will be presented to one of the shorts, based on a decision made by a jury of children.

Also, starting with 2011, the winner of the Anim'est Trophy is shortlisted for the annual Cartoon d'Or Award.

With a smart and nonconformist audience, Anim'est has become Bucharest's most loved film festival and a growing name on the animation scene of Europe, recognized as a member of the Cartoon European Association of Animation Film since the 5th edition. Our presentations, workshops, masterclasses and round tables provide a great opportunity to get in touch with the latest creations and make contacts (here's how we enjoyed anim'est 2011)

Among the great names who have visited Anim'est since the first edition in 2006, we proudly mention Bill Plympton, Georges Schwizgebel, Phil Mulloy, Shane Acker, John Dilworth, Joan C. Gratz, Mike Reiss, Alex Budovsky, Juan Pablo Zaramella, Alexander Damm, Gil Alkabetz, Simone Massi, Regina Pessoa, Erik van Schaaik and our partner festivals, animation schools and guest studios.
