ANIMAGE 2024: The Festival Where Drawings Come to Life (and Compete for Prizes)
In Recife, Brazil, preparations are underway for the 15th edition of ANIMAGE, the festival that turns doodles into animated masterpieces. From October 7th to 12th, this event will prove that in less than 30 minutes you can tell a story better than many 8-season series. And the best part: participating doesn't cost a real! 🎨

Categories for All Animators (Even Those Who Still Use Pencil and Paper)
ANIMAGE doesn't discriminate by experience level:
- Professionals: For those who already eat, sleep, and breathe animation
- Students: For those who still borrow colored pencils
- Children's: Because kids also have things to say (in drawings)
- Brazilian: Local pride with animated samba
Awards That Will Make Any Resume Shine
Winners will be able to boast about:
- Best Short Film (the Oscar for indie animators)
- Best Direction (for the boss who actually knows what they're doing)
- Best Screenplay (because even drawings need a good story)
- Audience Award (the most important like of them all)
And other technical awards that will make even your grandmother understand this is serious. 🏆
More Than a Festival: A Talent Factory
ANIMAGE offers:
- Workshops where you'll learn more than in 4 years of university
- Talks with experts who will reveal their secrets (or at least some of them)
- Networking with colleagues as addicted to animation as you are
All organized by Rec-Beat, who knows more about animation than Pixar knows about easy tears. So if you have a short film made since 2024 (or you still have time to create one), ANIMAGE is your chance to shine. After all, what better place to succeed than a festival where even failures are seen in slow motion? 😅
