Animest proposes to the little ones an animated journey with characters to become their friends and lead them through some unique worlds. The selection of eight films is made within the Animation Festival Network, consisting of the animation film festivals Animafest Croatia, Anifilm Czech Republic, Fest Anča Slovakia, Animest Romania and Animateka Slovenia. The educational project is co-financed by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and includes animated films addressing ecological themes, sustainable development and environmental conservation. For the youngest of the viewers, the films that open the screening address the theme of unusual friendship between seemingly different creatures. The proposed selection can be a good starting point for discussions and concrete actions available to anyone, which adults can support in educating the little ones in the spirit of love for nature and for their peers. The films are mostly aimed at children from 4 to 10 years old, but are also warmly recommended for older children and adults.

The screening will be followed by a creative workshop for children organized by Timisoara in the Box.
The project is part of the national cultural programme "Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023" and is funded through the European Echoes Timișoara 2023 programme, implemented by the Center for Projects Timișoara, with funds allocated from the state budget, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture.
