CINANIMA prepares its 42nd edition with a film show in the town

CINANIMA - Espinho International Animated Film Festival presents in October, in eight Portuguese universities, approximately 60 author’s animated films.

The cycle called "Pre-Festival" will run from 1 to 31 October and is free for the academic community and general public. The "Pre-Festival" consists of four programs that include award-winning films from CINANIMA’s 2017 edition, a selection of the best contemporary Finnish animation, films from Polish festival O! PLA and Dan Laoghaire College of Arts, Ireland.

It is recalled that, in 2013, the University of Porto was the first academic institution in the country to receive the "Pre-Festival" of CINANIMA, which was soon joined by UTAD - University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Universities of Aveiro and Coimbra (2016) and the Universities of Beira Interior and Algarve (2017). This year, this festival initiative joins the School of Arts of the Portuguese Catholic University and the University of Madeira.

The 42nd edition of CINANIMA takes place from November 12 to 18, in various spaces in the city of Espinho. In the Rectory of the U.Porto, the Pre-Festival Cinanima takes place in four dates of October:
