The VAFI festival was launched in 2010 due to the lack of specialised festivals for children and young people that take the creation of animated films seriously. RAFI had its first edition in 2018, when the festival was co-organised with Art-kino.
The jubilee 15th edition of VAFI & RAFI – International Festival of Animated Film of Children and Youth was held from 27 May to 1 June 2024 in Varaždin.
A record 1133 animated films from 92 countries were submitted to this year’s festival. There were 289 films in the VAFI section and 844 in the RAFI section. After a detailed viewing, 162 films were selected and entered the festival’s official program – a total of 90 films in the VAFI section and 72 films in the RAFI section.
We are projecting fifteen award-winning animated films of children and young people created by stop motion animation.
