Since 1976 and every single year, CINANIMA welcomes and selects much of the best-animated author cinema for competition and this year will be no exception. We are looking forward to receiving your film and ready to make this Festival the best stage for its promotion.
We are happy to remind you that CINANIMA is the only Portuguese festival that qualifies the winner of its Grand Prix for the OSCAR® list of animated films, and this year, once again, two films shorts were awarded at CINANIMA 2020 and included in that list: Altötting, by Andreas Hykade, and Elo, by Alexandra Ramires. CINANIMA is also a partner of the EMILE Awards, promoted by the European Animation Awards Association.
