The Enimation, International Children and Youth Film Festival is a specialised competitive festival established in 2011, focusing on films made by children and youth. It takes place annually at the Maribor Puppet Theatre, Vetrinjski dvor and GT22 in Maribor during the last week of November. The applications for eligible films are usually from May till September.

The festival is part of an international platform in the field of education through animated film. Enimation's four modules – Enimation School, Enimation Little Elephant, Enimation Seminar and Enimation expert – unite children, youth, parents, mentors, teachers and other animated film enthusiasts.

Background

The festival derives from the Animateka International Animated Film Festival Maribor edition. Since 2011, the Association for Film Culture Development, Maribor focused only on children and youth films and thus created its own festival platform, which is growing every year. In 2019, at the 9th edition, it had more than 400 applications from all over the world. Co-organised by Zavod MARS Maribor, an association for cultural and art education, its main purpose is to promote film production by children and youth, film education in schools and the development of film production skills and a critical understanding of film.

Sections and awards

Among the festival sections, 3 are competitive: the "MINI" section for films made by children till the age of 10, the "MIDI" section for films made by children from the ages of 11 till 14 and the "MAXI" section for films made by youth till the age of 19. In each section, the Little Elephant Award is given by an international jury of 3 members, which can also give Special Mentions to films in each section. The winner of all three sections combined is awarded the Little Elephant Grand Prix and a scholarship for the next film project, sponsored by the Foundation Sonda.
