2024 Full Report and Highlights

This year's edition was notably the opportunity to pay tribute to Portugal, the guest country, and to dance, our other major theme. It was also the chance to shine a spotlight on innovation and talents in the field of animation, with the creation of the new XR&Games Area, but also by providing additional Festival screenings. There was a tremendous response to the Festival, with over 17,400 accredited attendees turning out to bring the world's animation capital to life!
