The Korean Cultural Center is pleased to collaborate with the 43th edition of Anima, Brussels International Animation Film Festival every year. The Festival presents animated films exclusively, namely films created frame by frame (traditional animated cartoons or using puppets, plasticine etc. or digital films), and not shot in live action. This year, four Korean short animations will be presented in Anima from February 23rd to March 3rd, 2024. We look forward to meeting you at the festival.
