The story

Neum Animated Film Festival in Neum

An animation-only film festival on Bosnia and Herzegovina's short Adriatic coastline, running since 2006 with juried awards spanning 2D, 3D, stop-motion clay animation, music and student work. It suits travelers who want a specialized, youth-oriented film program that can be paired with beach afternoons in Neum rather than a full city-festival circuit.

Neum's animation festival has run since 2006, built specifically around young filmmakers rather than industry premieres, and its judging categories say as much: alongside the usual Grand Prix there are separate awards for best 2D and 3D animation, best plasticine (stop-motion clay) animation, best music score, best student work and best art direction.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few animation festivals combine a coastal beach-town setting with dedicated awards for stop-motion clay ('plasticine') animation and best original film music, both handed out alongside the main Grand Prix

02

The mystery stays covered

Because entries are capped at around fifteen minutes, a single sitting typically covers many different films and countries rather than one feature-length work

03

The city starts moving

The festival also functions partly as an exchange for young animators and students, who make up a visible share of both the entrants and the in-person audience, and selected directors are often hosted on-site rather than simply screened remotely
