Dare to look into the future? The Festival Animator Lovers guide to the zodiac

Karolina the fortune-teller has seen your future in the eyes of movie stars – here's what's in store for you during the Animator Festival, July 5–13. Dare to look into the future?

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 18)

You're like VR: seemingly real, yet somehow just out of reach. Your mind is always cooking up something innovative, and it's hard to keep up with what fascinates you next. At Animator, head to the VR section – especially to VR ROSE BOND by our special guest from Portland this year.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your soul yearns for new beginnings and contact with those closest to you. At the Festival, see DANDELION'S ODYSSEY – a warm story about friendship, courage and finding your place in an unknown world.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your body and spirit move with the rhythm of slow transformation. Let yourself be swept away by bold storytelling in the SERIES FROM MAX showcase – from „Creature Commandos” to the wild „Harley Quinn”. It’s energy that will awaken your senses and inspire your own metamorphosis.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotions pulse like a quiet wave, slowly syncing with your heartbeat. This year, choose an animation that reflects your inner whirlwind of thoughts and restless soul. PAPRIKA – a wild, colorful ride that inspired „Inception” – is your perfect pick.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)

When watching animation, you often wish you could dance to the rhythm of the soundtrack. After screenings, head over to the SobeRave at the SERCE festival club – a space of authentic fun, movement, and electronic music without alcohol, where energy and community are the main acts.

Cancer (June 21 – Jul 22)

You still carry the sensitivity of a child, even though life has tried to convince you it's a flaw. Instead of bottling it up again, let yourself be swept away by a screening of BOJACK HORSEMAN – ideally on the big screen, where emotions have nowhere to hide.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’ve got that star quality and an entrance like a main character. Drop in to the ANIMATED LATE NIGHT SHOW – a comedy event where animation creators crack jokes like seasoned stand-up pros. Laughter, lights, and the not-so-serious history of the industry – you’ll be right in your element.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You analyze the world with the precision of an animator – frame by frame, until everything is full of meaning right to the brim. Take a step away from perfection and join the MASTERCLASS WITH YOSHIMI ITAZU – our guest from Japan – to hear how true emotion is really crafted for the screen.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Nie możesz usiedzieć na miejscu, więc festiwal to Twoje naturalne środowisko. Jeden dzień – trzy seanse, siedem nowych znajomości i zupełnie nowe hobby. Na zakończenie dnia wytańcz emocje na SILENT DISCO w samym sercu Poznania, na Starym Rynku.

You can’t sit still, which makes the festival your natural habitat. One day – three screenings, seven new friends, and a brand new hobby. End the day by dancing out your emotions at the SILENT DISCO in the very heart of Poznań, on the Old Market Square.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have a darkness within. Part Tim Burton, part weird chemistry class no one forgot because it was so strange. Dive into KOSZMARYNKI – a collection of animated horror shorts that will stir your emotions and leave you wondering, “What in the world did I just watch?”

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your curiosity drives you toward the unknown. Don’t miss the special screening of ONCE UPON A TIME... LIFE – the classic animation that will reignite your passion for exploring the mysteries of body and mind. A journey that reminds you knowledge is the greatest adventure, with a healthy dose of nostalgia on the side.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You’ve got an eye for beauty and the discipline to see beyond the surface. Let the anime YOUR LETTER – a unique European premiere – merge form with meaning and touch you deeply. Who knows, maybe you'll leave the screening with something that stays with you for a long time.
