Anim!arte—an international festival
From Ireland and Bulgaria, to Spain, Japan, Turkey, Portugal and Iran—for 18 years, the Anim!Arte festival has been showcasing the work of students from all around the world.
Every year, the Brazilian festival presents short films made by young talents for a young audience. It aims to boost artistic knowledge and curiosity among young people to create and produce animated films.
Over the course of ten days, visitors can attend conferences led by animation professionals, as well as attending exclusive screenings, workshops and exhibitions.
This year, for its 15th edition, Anim!Arte has selected five films produced by LISAA animation school—great recognition for these students who have now graduated.
