FOR CHILDREN
Coming to the festival with kids?
We all know what a challenge it is to keep kids entertained. Anifilm is open to all age categories and kids are welcome! We are looking forward to seeing you at screenings for kids, animation workshops, theatre performances and other events in the programme that we have prepared for you. You can also leave your children in the care of our Kids Club.
Visiting the festival in a few simple steps
Check the programme
You can choose from a wide choice of screenings and accompanying events – theatre performances, workshops and exhibitions. You can filter events intended for kids in the catalogue. In the programme brochure, screenings for kids are marked with a smiley face emoji together with an age recommendation.
Collect your pass & book screenings
You can collect your festival pass at the Liberec Chateau (and at other festival places) and you can get tickets to the screenings and events of your choice at the ticketing points.
And you are ready to enjoy Anifilm!
Let’s go to cinema!
How to select the best event
Screenings, theatre performances, animation workshops or film dubbing? Parents with kids of all ages can choose from various different events every day at Anifilm. You can filter events based on their suitability for kids, days and times, preferred activities or the title. The complete programme will go online in April.
Please be mindful to other festival goers and take your children only to events marked with the smiley face emoji. The age recommendations were given by the festival programmers or film distributors and may not align with your kid’s needs, so they are really just recommendations.
How to get a Kid’s Festival Pass?
We have a variety of festival passes for kids based on how many days you are planning to spend at the festival. For kids up to 15 years of age you should get a Visitor KID pass. They can be bought for 1, 2 or 3 days or for the whole duration of the festival. You can find more information about the passes on the link below. The sale will begin on 21 April.
What is the School of Animation powered by the PPF Foundation?
Animation workshops led by experienced teachers are a traditional part of Anifilm and are held every day from morning till evening at the Garden Wing of the Liberec Chateau and in the surrounding park. You can make a booking on the spot and try different animation techniques. If you want to attend the workshops with a class of kindergarten or primary school students, you will find more information here. The School of Animation is organised with support from the PPF Foundation and this year’s topic is ‘Hidden Stories’.
Do you have young kids in tow? You can leave them in the care of the Children's corner!
As usual, the Children's corner at the Garden Wing of the Liberec Chateau, complete with a proper car rug and an abundance of toys, is ready to welcome your offspring. The parents are responsible for their children during the time they spend at the corner. We kindly ask the children to take good care of the toys and put them away when they finish playing with them.
Group babysitting is available at the Kids Club at Liebieg Villa. You can find more information below.
