Turun Anikistit –
20 years Anniversary Screening

Anikistit are turning 20! Turun Anikistit ry is an active and diverse part of Turku’s art scene, with its core mission being to create and showcase independent and non-commercial animation art. Over the years, Anikistit have created experimental and collaborative artworks that have also gained recognition at international festivals. The association has also organised workshops, animation camps and exhibitions. Perhaps their most visible work in the streets of Turku is the colourful design of the local library bus. TAFF’s anniversary screening presents highlights from the association’s current film production.

All films that have dialogue in a language other than English, are subtitled in English.

Please note that this screening is not suitable for children.
