The story

Anifilm Liberec in Liberec

Anifilm traces back to 2002 as AniFest in Trebon, went through an organisational split between 2010 and 2013, and re-formed as a single event before relocating to Liberec in 2020. Its top short-film prize carries Oscar-qualifying status, a distinction held by only a handful of animation festivals worldwide, and winning Czech entries also qualify for the European Animation Awards.

Anifilm's roots trace to 2002, when the Czech Republic's animated film festival began under the name AniFest in the South Bohemian spa town of Trebon, becoming a fully international competitive event the following year.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Oscar-qualifying status for its short animated film prize is Anifilm's standout credential, placing it among a small group of animation festivals worldwide whose winners become eligible for Academy Award consideration, a distinction most European animation festivals do not hold

02

The mystery stays covered

Its history includes a genuine organisational split, AniFest in Teplice running in parallel with Anifilm in Trebon between 2010 and 2013, before the two rejoined under the Anifilm name alone, a rare instance of a festival surviving its own internal division

03

The city starts moving

Winning Czech films additionally qualify for the European Animation Awards, the Emile Awards, giving the festival a second layer of international industry recognition
