"The idea for the festival came initially when we took part in a European programme," Department Head Andreas Yiannakoulopoulos told Enimerosi. "We decided to organise an animation festival with the main focus being on pupils and students. The festival has been warmly accepted and the increasing number of entries every year along with the high quality of the films has given us great pleasure."
Openings for collaboration
The aim of the Ionian Contemporary Animation Festival ICONA 2022 is to showcase the best animation films from around the world.
