Cinema Fest Anča for children

Once again this year, your children can look forward to the best of animated film at the Summer Reading Room in the Medical Garden!

Screening of the best short animated films for children. The screening lasts 50 minutes. The films have no dialogue and are suitable for all children.

Fest Anča’s International Competition Section brings the best short animated films from around the world for children that are not in regular cinema distribution. The selected films differ from mainstream productions and introduce children to auteur animated film. These are titles that are imaginative, work more with children’s imagination, and stimulate children to think further about the film and deepen their relationship with art.

Six films made in the last two years are included in the international competition of animated films for children. Do you know which film won the children’s jury award? Which one do you like the most?

Children at Fest Anči will decide who will win the Anča Award for Best Children’s Short Animated Film! Will it be the bat with golden clothes or the toadstool that bakes delicious cakes, but everyone is afraid to eat them? A piglet on skates, who overcomes his fear and befriends a big fish, and a dog with a thorn in his bottom will also try to win the favor of the youngest visitors.
