29th International Film Festival Etiuda & Anima

Next edition of Poland’s oldest film festival, which showcases the greatest achievements of talented students of film and art schools from around the world, as well as the extremely colorful work of animation and graphic artists – professionals, students and independent artists alike. The festival ends with the presentation of awards in competitions: Etiuda, Anima and the youngest Anima.

Why is it worth going to a film festival?

The International Film Festival Etiuda&Anima is officially one of the oldest such events organized in Poland. The film festival is not only an opportunity to get acquainted with art created by young artists and students of international schools, but it is also a great opportunity to take part in competitions. They are an annual highlight of the event. For years now, two title competitions have been organized, where prizes are awarded for competing in a category including feature and documentary etudes. The prizes include the Golden, Silver and Bronze Dinosaur statuettes and the Special Golden Dinosaur for the best film school of the festival, while in the category of animation filmmakers’ competition – the Golden, Silver and Bronze Jabberwocky, the Special Golden Jabberwocky for the best animated, student etude of the festival.

Educators and other active teachers also have the opportunity to be presented with the outstanding Special Golden Dinosaur Award for an academically, artistically successful filmmaker. Since the beginning of the festival, official presentations of films awarded nationally and internationally within the framework of the Touring Etude&Anima competition are organized after the festival.

Accompanying Events

Since the beginning of the festival, the main points of the event are surrounded by a rich program of accompanying events. During the past editions of the festival, they were a great opportunity to meet and integrate with world-class animation artists from all over the world of this art, but also with unusual and most interesting phenomena in this field of artistic creation. Through the non-competition events, the festival participants can recall all the film works from the past of cinema, especially animation and documentary, which have particularly engraved in their memory, but they can also become acquainted with works unknown and unavailable at other festivals held in Poland, as well as short and feature films.
