AnimArte Festival: A global stage for student and professional animators.
The AnimArte Festival is dedicated exclusively to animated short films !!
The maximum duration for each film is 15 minutes.
AnimArte is an international festival of animated films made by children, young people, and professionals, aimed at young audiences.
In 2026, the 19th edition of AnimArte will be held, and the festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary. It will take place in October in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
For international students (around the world), there are two competitive categories: Maxi (for animated films made by students aged 18 or older) and Mini (for animated films made by students under 18).
For international professionals, there are two categories: “Environmental Films” and “World Cultures.”
Selected films will be screened according to the program prepared by the festival’s organizing team.
If a film contains dialogue in a language other than Portuguese, a text file with the dialogue in English (preferably with timecode) must be submitted to: animarte@vouanimarte.com.br
A version of the film with English subtitles is welcome to facilitate translation and subtitling into Portuguese; however, the version to be screened at the festival must be submitted without subtitles.
There are also two exclusive categories (for animated short films only) for students enrolled in educational institutions in Brazil: Maxi (university students) and Mini (high school and elementary school students).
