Wednesday until Sunday from 12:00 am – 10:30 pm
The most beautiful animated short and feature films to amuse and amaze are shown daily on the large LED wall. New this year are themed short film programmes for the whole family in the afternoon and for adults from 6:30 pm. As usual, current animated blockbusters and arthouse gems provide an atmospheric end to the festival day every evening at 8:15 pm.
Together with various partners and supporters of the festival, we offer an exciting daily participatory programme with workshops and activities, and of course there will be culinary highlights again.
Free admission!
