On 12 December, the artist Anja Resman will take us behind the scenes of the making of the animation and show us a puppet from the film, which we will be able to bring to life ourselves. Registration is required for the workshop.

On Sunday, 8.12.2024, at 17:15, the Children’s Jury will present a selection of their favourite films of the Elephant Competition, Best of The Elephant programme.

The second edition of the Rise & Shine Animation Lab for young talents and their short films hosted 11 amazing projects. Among them four awards were given out.

We reveal the winners of this year’s Animateka Awards in all four competition programmes. Who won the Grand, Student and Elephant Jury prizes and which films impressed the audience the most?

Rise & Shine is a project development and pitching lab for first and second-time professional filmmakers with their short films (up to 20 minutes), organized by Animafest Zagreb and Animateka in collaboration with CEE Animation in three modules: focus on script, project follow-up, focus on pitch.

Animateka offers a range of exciting content for young people, including Kinotrip’s Best of teh World, the feature films Flow and Memoir of a Snail as well as our VR programme.

The 21st edition of Animateka will officially open with a program that, among other things, voices support for Palestinians with a screening of a film made recently in a workshop in a refugee camp in Gaza. You can help Haneen Koraz’s project Empower Voices Through Art for children animation workshops in Gaza with a donation.

Today we open the festival with the Elephant programme for families at 5PM at Kinodvor and with the Opening ceremony and a Special Opening Screening at 8.30 PM in Kinodvor as well. Browse the programme, join us at screenings and other events!
