The Anim’est International Animation Film Festival, established in 2006, has become Bucharest’s most loved film festival and a recognized event on the international animation scene. During the five previous editions, Anim’est has gathered over 50,000 spectators and presented over 1,800 animation films (both feature and short films, music videos and advertising). Anim’est is also the Romanian film festival with the fastest and most impressive growth.

Anim'est's mission to reinvigorate and support the Romanian animation film is having an impact on the awards and participations of local animation filmmakers in international film festivals and events.

Starting with the sixth edition of the festival (2011), Anim'est also organizes a special edition in Chişinău.
