This year’s lineup includes everything we love about Animator: competition premieres from around the globe, cult classics, special screenings, themed sections, concerts, workshops, industry events within Animator PRO, and immersive VR experiences that let you literally step inside the world of animation.

It’s also a unique opportunity to meet creators whose work has shaped the imagination of entire generations. Guests appearing in Poznań include John R. Dilworth, creator of the cult classic Courage the Cowardly Dog; Aya Suzuki from MAPPA Studio; Marc Silk, the voice of Johnny Bravo and Scooby-Doo; Greg Grabianski, co-writer of Beavis & Butt-Head (MTV); and Tim Allen, an animator who worked on Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning Pinocchio and Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs. The program also features artist talks, masterclasses, and discussions offering a behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s most acclaimed productions.
For music lovers, we have something special as well: an animated music video competition and events dedicated to visual art at the intersection of music, film, and new media. This section is packed with creativity, experimentation, and innovative forms of storytelling. You’ll also find plenty of musical inspiration on the Quadro Stage and at Schron.
