ReAnima: Bergen International Animation Festival

ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to consequences related to the global COVID-19 crisis, we have been forced to lighten our workload this year, by cutting the two film categories Documentary and Experimental Animation from our annual international animated short film competition. We apologize to anybody who has submitted films in these categories, and we invite you to submit your films next year. However, we will still be able to include the other five animated short film categories in the competition this year: Professional, Student, Music Video, Human Rights and ReAnima Kids! Please note: We have also extended the notification date from October 4th 2021 to October 11th 2021. If we select your film, you will be notified by October 11th. ReAnima is the annual international festival for animated films in Bergen, the second largest city of Norway. The festival emerged as a response to the increasing need to give the city a space in which to interact with animated art in all its variations, and to offer animated content for all audiences. ReAnima offers various animated film screenings and animated film contests for both adults and kids. The festival also arranges many other activities, such as animation workshops, lectures on animation, master classes with professional animators, interviews and debates, exhibitions, and so on. As an international festival, ReAnima welcomes guests, contestants, jury members and audience members from all around the world! We also accept all forms of animation techniques. But please note: Do not send us live-action films. We are an animation festival. We only accept fully animated short films, or animated short films that include only small amounts of live-action footage. Regular live-action films will be immediately disqualified.
