ANIMATOR WITHOUT SELECTION is a warm-up lasting several days before the start of the main programme of the Festival, during which the films from the competition that have not passed the official selection process are presented. During Animator's Screenings without Selection, viewers have a unique opportunity to choose films which, with the so-called "wild card" will enter the selection of two competitions: the Polish Animated Films Competition and the International Short Films Competition.

In addition, the Festival programme includes films by our graduates and lecturers.

Congratulations to all the creators. We are keeping our fingers crossed!
