In recent years, Portuguese animation has been in the spotlight for the best reasons:

The country saw an increase in the output of animated features and shorts from a new generation of authors - the historic feats of films like Ice Merchants, which gave Portugal its first Academy Award Nomination, an award at the Cannes Film Festival and Portugal’s second Annie Award, just two short years after Regina Pessoa’s award at the Annies with the much-celebrated Uncle Thomas: Accounting for the Days. In addition, Percebes won the Crystal Award at Annecy last year, in the same year Portuguese animation was the highlight of the festival, celebrating Portugal's one-hundredth anniversary of animation productions. All these achievements have helped to bring some attention to this new wave of filmmakers and the wonderful animation being released every year from Portugal.

The goal of Porto.Anim is to showcase the work of this diverse group of talented artists and bring the general public closer to the fantastic animation being created throughout the city.

A lot of this animation is created in the heart of the city by AIM Creative Studios. AIM is an animation and sound production company headquartered in Porto, which has been producing animated cinema and audiovisual content for television and international clients throughout the past decade.

In the second edition of the event, we highlight the work of the local directors who form the studio: Vincent Niro, Maria Trigo Teixeira, Natália Azevedo Andrade, and Alexandre Sousa.

All movies have English subtitles.
