The festival´s annual programme includes international competitions of short animated films and music videos, as well as thematic and special focus film sections. A new special section especially created for this year´s edition called Anča in Facemask is a follow up to the Domased exhibition of illustrations that was part of last year´s programme and followed the artists´ experience of living through the pandemic.
The 14th Fest Anča International Animation Festival 2021 is supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund and LITA Fund. Fest Anča Student Forum received support from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway via EEA and Norway Grants.
