Festival Description: FUA! is much more than a short film screening event. It welcomes international guests who are leaders in the industry and who take part in talks, masterclasses, and panel discussions to share their experiences, processes, and current perspectives on the sector. In addition, the program includes specialized workshops and networking spaces.
FUA! is born with a clear mission: to discover and promote emerging talent, generate collaborative networks, and bring new generations of animators closer to real opportunities for circulation, learning, and professional connection.
