In addition, the Korean Cultural Center of Belgium supports this festival with the awarding of the ‘Creative Relevation' prize which is attributed to the work that is the most inventive and creative in terms of expression, narrative and editing.

This year, the 'Creative Revelation' prize went to the short film, ‘Sh_t Happens' by David Stumpf and Michaela Mihalyi.

Through this collaboration between the ANIMA festival and the Korean Cultural Center of Belgium, Korean animated films are increasingly presented to Belgian and European audiences.
