Animac is the International Animation Film Festival of Catalonia, organized and produced by the Lleida City Council and the Generalitat de Catalunya. Over the years, Animac has consolidated its independent and artistic character. The Mostra was created in 1996 and throughout its almost 19-year history it has become one of the best-known audiovisual events held in Spain, with international importance and prestige. Today Animac is a rigorous show, at the same time dynamic and welcoming, which continues in its effort to improve, generating new audiences and attracting all those who love animation. Animac is a non-competitive exhibition aimed at those artists who use animation as an instrument for their personal expression. We push beyond the boundaries of traditional narrative and look for visionaries who make independent and risky work that has strength and pushes its expressive potential to the limit. Animac is also a place for artists to meet, a laboratory in which ideas are formed and where relationships are established between the different artistic disciplines. It is a place to dream and project stories of the future. As an event focused on creators, Animac is highly regarded by the collective. This distinctive feature helps Animac secure a position in the 21st century, now that the main assets of our industry are concentrated in talent and content. The great international visibility of Animac has allowed us to go beyond the limits of our city and develop our projects everywhere, in South Korea, China, Taiwan, India, Germany, Hungary, Kosovo, Scotland, Italy, Brazil, Colombia … We have gone around the world showing the best animated films and promoting their creators. In this way, Animac has woven a strong and exquisite international network that involves accomplices and mentors (entertainers and other professionals, former participants in the show, our loyal audience, etc.). These are the real assets of the Animac, the bases for the foundation of a new event year after year, always more ambitious and efficient.
