Animafest Zagreb 2021: 5 Short Films To Look Out For This Year Animafest Zagreb, the world’s second-oldest animation festival, is gearing up to hold its 2021 edition in the Croatian capital on June 7–12. If it goes ahead, Animafest will have pulled off a rare feat: holding fully in-person events in both years of the pandemic (last year’s was delayed to the fall). Covid or no Covid, Animafest has selected a fine crop of shorts for this year’s competition. The 112 films are split across three categories: the grand competition, the student competition, and the Croatian competition. We’ve combed the line-up and picked out five notable shorts, from up-and-coming filmmakers and established pros alike. Watch the trailers below, then read more about this year’s program here.
