The international festival of animation - ANIMANIMA - will be held in Čačak, from 10th to 13th September 2008.

The Municipality of Čačak is the patron of the festival, and its organiser is the Čačak Cultural Centre - as the focal point of the city’s cultural events, the Centre provides the facilities for ANIMANIMA.

A principal aim of the ANIMANIMA festival is to affirm the art of animation, through featuring works of national and international authors. The works themselves comprise the most diverse techniques, ranging form the classical ones to the contemporary computerised techniques; they also cover a variety of forms, including artistic, commercial educative, experimental and other. Last but not least, the festival aims to bring together authors form all over the world, in a friendly and creative atmosphere.

There are three categories in the festival competition: films up to 5 minutes long, films up to 15 minutes long, and animated commercial or music video. The festival’s main award, the Grand Prix consists of the money prize and the "Golden peg bar" (the so-called ‘štift’ is a kind of ruler frequently used in the classical animation drawing) symbolically represents the link between the traditional and the contemporary animation. Outside the competing segment, there is the special selection (reviews, retrospectives, miscellaneous shows, etc.), as well as the fringe events (exhibitions, concerts, promotions and similar events). There is a three-member Serbian jury that selects the films for the festival (the Selection Jury), and there is the international Supreme Jury that is in charge of the festival awards.
