Anim’est, the Bucharest International Animation Film Festival, is an international competition festival organized by ESTENEST, a non-profit cultural association submitted to the Romanian law and seeks to promote cartoons and animated films from all over the world, encouraging the production of Romanian animated films.
Starting with the festival's fourth edition (2009), anim'est has also included a unique event in the Romanian festival circuit: Creepy Animation Night – a nightful of provokative, bizarre and horror animation shorts screenings accompanied by a live musical act in the festival's main venue – Patria Cinema
No film included in the sections of the festival will be shown at more than three public screenings for long feature and short films. ESTENEST undertakes to request written authorization from the producer in the case of additional screenings, either within the framework of the festival or outside it, except for screening in a different festival where Anim’est is invited to be part of a special programme, except for the ‘best of’ compilation of the award winning films and for screening in the framework of an educational programme (e.g. in schools or cinemas), with no entry fee.
Very important!! – In order to be selected for competition, the films must be at their first screening in Romania (except for the Romanian short films).
