Animation Festivals Directory

IMAGINARIA is an international animated film festival that takes place every year in Conversano (Puglia region) in Italy.
In its history Imaginaria has grown enormously, earning an important artistic and social position in the international festival sector.
Imaginaria has been approved for the Academy’s Qualifying Festival List.
Approved festivals and awards are qualified for the next three consecutive years (or editions, whichever comes first).
Qualifying status will start on October 1, 2024, and end on September 30, 2027.

IMAGINARIA is primarily an event of “people and places”, a community festival that allows and encourages the involvement of all. Squares, terraces, narrow streets, beautiful places of the medieval historic center of Conversano (churches, castle, streets and historic buildings), or areas of cultural enjoyment where the festival is held, help to create and unique “family” feeling, which is considered one of the main elements of originality and therefore the stretch that positively distinguishes Imaginaria from other national and international festivals.
